Serie A: Dybala surges Roma to conquer Empoli


Rome, Feb 5 (IANS): With two assists from Paulo Dybala, Roma bounced back from their consecutive defeats by beating Empoli 2-0.

The Giallorossi suffered a setback against Napoli in the last round and an exit in the Coppa Italia quarterfinal in midweek, reprts Xinhua news agency.

The home side got the job done in the opening stage as Dybala's outswinging corner set up Roger Ibanez's towering header just under two minutes into the game.
