The Roma game was scheduled for Saturday but the snow which
has crippled Italy forced a one-day postponement. Roma showed how impatient
they were with a commanding victory, which moved Luis Enrique's side to within
two points of fifth-placed Inter.
Juan gave the hosts a 13th-minute lead and Italy Under-21
striker Borini, forging a name for himself in Serie A having gone under the
radar playing in England, scored his brace either side of the break.
Ranieri's return to Roma, where he resigned last term, was
made all the more humiliating when Bojan Krkic made it 4-0 late on.
Flying Juve were surprisingly held to a home 0-0 draw with
lowly Siena while uninspired champions Milan could not get past Napoli at a
freezing San Siro.
The duo, separated by a point at the top, will at least have
been pleased that third-placed Udinese went down 3-2 at Fiorentina and Lazio in
fourth lost 3-2 at Genoa in another cracking game where Bosko Jankovic netted
twice for the hosts.
In other results, Parma won 2-1 at Chievo, Palermo beat
Atalanta 2-1, Lecce and Bologna drew 0-0 and bottom side Novara played out
another goalless stalemate at home to Cagliari.
All
the matches were played in the afternoon to avoid dipping temperatures in the
evening. Cesena against Catania on Saturday was postponed until a future date.
