Pjanic fires Roma to first home win since November

Miralem Pjanic's first-half strike gave AS Roma a 1-0 win over Napoli in Serie A on Saturday, their first home victory for more than four months.

Second-placed Roma are now 11 points behind Juventus who entertain Empoli later on Saturday.

The home team scored in the 25th minute when Alessandro Florenzi set up Pjanic after a string of precise passes and his low shot beat keeper Mariano Andujar.
