ROMA starting XI (3-4-2-1): Svilar, Mancini, Ndicka, Angelino, Celik, Le Fee, Kone, Zalewski (subbed for El Shaarawy), Baldanzi (subbed for Cristante), Pisilli (subbed for Pellegrini), Dybala (subbed for Shomurodov)

Bench: Marin, Ryan, Abdulhamid, Hummels, Dahl, Sangarè, Paredes, Soulè

Goals: Dybala 20’

TORINO starting XI (3-5-2): Milinkovic-Savic, Coco, Maripan (subbed for Pedersen), Masina, Vojvoda (subbed for Tameze), Linetty (subbed for Karamoh), Ricci, Gineitis (subbed for Njie), Lazaro, Adams, Sanabria (subbed for Vlasic)

Bench: Paleari, Donnarumma, Walukiewicz, Dembele, Sosa, Bianay, Ciammaglichella

Juric was under pressure after Roma were routed 5-1 by Fiorentina on Sunday.

But Paulo Dybala scored a first-half goal for Roma and the Giallorossi hung on to end a three-game winless streak in Serie A.

Dybala got on the end of a wayward defensive pass to slot him from a tight angle. The ball should have been comfortably cleared off the line, but Torino centre back Adam Masina somehow missed it.

Juric replaced the fired Daniele De Rossi last month.

Roma moved up to 12th while Torino remained ninth.
