Torino have managed to defeat Roma 3-1 in a Serie A home game for the first time since 1990 with the help of England keeper Joe Hart.

Hart, who is on loan from Manchester City, produced a string of fine saves in the enthralling match and denied his former teammate Edin Dzeko three times on Sunday.

The host took lead after just 8 minutes through Andrea Belotti at the Olimpico Stadium and Iago Falque's penalty made it 2-0 after the break.

Roma struck back in the 55th minute when Francesco Totti, who turns 40 on Tuesday, scored his 250th Serie A goal from the spot. But Falque's looping shot restored Torino’s 2 goal cushion in the 65th minute and sealed the historic victory for his side.
