Luciano Spalletti enjoyed the first win of his second spell in
charge with a 3-1 victory over Frosinone.
A prone Radja Nainggolan put the hosts ahead in after 18
minutes with an opportunistic strike but Daniel Ciofani hauled
Frosinone level six minutes later.
El Shaarawy, who completed a long-anticipated loan switch
from AC Milan earlier this week on the back of a fruitless
temporary stint at Monaco, made his debut alongside fellow
new recruit Ervin Zukanovic and took centre stage three minutes
after half-time.
Zukanovic was the provider with a cross from the left and El
Shaarawy pivoted to send a stunning backheel volley beyond
visiting goalkeeper Nicola Leali.
There was a stylish third six minutes from time as the returning
Francesco Totti came off the bench to play in Miralem Pjanic for
an assured finish.
Roma lie fifth, three points behind fourth-placed Inter who take
on rivals Milan on Sunday.
Frosinone remain second bottom and Carpi edged a point
further ahead of them in 18th thanks to a 1-1 draw at home to
Palermo.
Veteran forward Alberto Gilardino put the away side in front but
Carpi substitute Matteo Mancosu won and converted a 74th-
minute penalty.
Sassuolo are level on points with Milan in seventh having
claimed the same scoreline away at Atalanta, German Denis
scoring on his farewell appearance for the home side to quickly
cancel out Domenico Berardi's 27th-minute opener - firing home
the rebound after Andrea Consigli saved his initial penalty.
