Getting the better of Giorgio Chiellini is among the most difficult things to do in Serie A football. Just ask any striker who has been forced to go up against the Italian centre-back.

Somehow, though, Edin Dzeko made it look like was nothing on Sunday.

The 79th minute of Roma's fixture versus Juventus saw Juan Iturbe launch a prayer of a left-footed cross to the edge of the Old Lady's penalty area, where a well-positioned Dzeko stood his ground, soared above Chiellini, and headed the ball past Gianluigi Buffon to give Rudi Garcia's side a 2-0 lead.

While the header marks Dzeko's first competitive goal since his season-long loan at Roma got underway, he has already shown his worth through only two matchdays.
