Roma remained fifth, provisionally nine points behind leader Napoli.

New signing Stephan El Shaarawy restored Roma's lead at the start of the second half after Daniel Ciofani canceled out Radja Nainggolan's opener.

Miralem Pjanic sealed the win six minutes from time.

Frosinone was second from bottom, seven points off safety.

Carpi has three points more than Frosinone after drawing with Palermo 1-1.

Atalanta also drew 1-1, against Sassuolo.
