Evergreen Francesco Totti, in his 22nd season with Roma, scored his first goal of the new campaign to give help them to a 3-1 win at Parma which maintained their 100 per cent record in Serie A last night.

Kevin Strootman was also in inspired form, setting up Totti’s goal and converting a penalty as Roma overturned a 1-0 halftime deficit.

Roma and Napoli are the only teams to have won their opening three games. They are followed by Inter , Juventus and Fiorentina, all on seven points.

Parma broke through six minutes before half-time when Frenchman Jonathan Biabany beat his marker to Mattia Cassani’s cross and headed in at the near post.

Roma levelled less than two minutes after the break when Miralem Pjanjic set up Alessandro Florenzi who blasted a right-foot shot past Antonio Mirante.

Strootman then cleverly set up Totti, 36, who placed his shot beyond Miranda in the 70th minute.

With five minutes left, Ivorian for-ward Gervinho was hauled down by Cassani in the area and Strootman rifled home the penalty for his first goal since his move from PSV.

Serie B: Ternana vs Brescia 1-2.
