Smalling Shines As Roma Beat Brescia

By Daily Sports on November 25, 2019

Chris Smalling scored one goal and assisted two others as Roma moved into the Serie A top four with a comfortable win over bottom-of-the-table Brescia.

On-loan Manchester United defender Smalling headed in from Lorenzo Pellegrini's corner after 49 minutes.

Up for another corner eight minutes later, Smalling's cushioned header set up fellow centre-back Gianluca Mancini.

The England international met a third Pellegrini cross as Edin Dzeko sealed the points for Paulo Fonseca's side.

Dzeko was denied a second in the latter stages, drawing a good save from Jesse Joronen before having a goal ruled out for offside.

Smalling, 30, becomes the third English player to score at least two goals in a Serie A season, after AC Milan's David Beckham in 2008-2009 and Perugia's Jay Bothroyd in 2003-2004.
