Dybala’s brace propels Mourinho’s Roma atop Serie A

ROME: This was just what Jose Mourinho had in mind when he lured Paulo Dybala to join Roma instead of a host of other suitors.

Dybala scored twice in less than a quarter of an hour — his first goals since joining Roma after his contract expired at Juventus — and the Giallorossi beat Silvio Berlusconi’s promoted Monza 3-0 to move atop Serie A on Tuesday.

“I had a lot of desire to score goals and fortunately they came here before our home fans,” Dybala said.
