Stand-out recruits Gonzalo Higuain and Steven N'Zonzi each had goals ruled out via video assistant referee reviews for their respective sides after Roma defender Federico Fazio cancelled out Franck Kessie's 40th-minute opener.

It was a frustrating night in front of goal for Higuain but the ex-Juventus man turned provider in the 95th minute, threading a fine pass for Cutrone to slot home.

Gennaro Gattuso led raucous celebrations as his team bounced back from last weekend's chastening 3-2 loss at Napoli, while Eusebio Di Francesco's Roma is now winless since the opening weekend.
