  • Argentine Paulo Dybala finally got off the mark for AS Roma when he netted a superlative strike to break his goal-scoring duck for the Giallorossi
  • Affectionately called 'La Joya', the 28-year-old Argentina international joined AS Roma on a free transfer after spending seven trophy-laden years with Juventus
  • The marquee signing made 292 appearances while scoring 115 goals and clinching 12 trophies for Juventus

Paulo Dybala has finally opened his goal-scoring account for AS Roma after joining the Giallorossi in the summer transfer window.

The 28-year-old Argentina international needed only 18 minutes in his fourth outing for Roma to break his goal-scoring ice against newly-promoted Monza on Tuesday evening.

Dybala was singled out for praise by manager Jose Mourinho following his superlative display against his former side, Juventus, which culminated in an acrobatic assist to Tammy Abraham to salvage a draw for the Giallorossi.

How did Dybala open his goal-scoring duck?

After being put through on goal, Dybala weaved his way past his opponents, and he unleashed a magnificent effort from the edge of the box into the bottom right corner to open the score for Roma.

His debut goal for Roma urged the Argentine playmaker on, who took advantage from a Tammy Abraham blocked effort, before hitting a low effort into the centre of the goal.

Roma pair Tammy Abraham and Dybala share 'sporty' kiss in Juventus draw

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Tammy Abraham and Paulo Dybala shared a 'sporty' kiss following AS Roma's entertaining stalemate with Juventus over the weekend.

Abraham and Dybala combined to great effect as the former connected from a Dybala cutback to cancel Dusan Vlahovic's wonderful strike as Roma shared the spoils with Juventus.

Despite Jose Mourinho hogging the headlines for his indifferent post-match assessment of his side, it is the goalscorer, Tammy Abraham, who has warmed the hearts of football fans with a touching gesture.
