AS Roma coach Claudio Ranieri feels Jeremy Menez is beginning to fulfil his potential.
Menez and Marco Borriello scored fine solo efforts to give 10-man Roma the victory.
"Menez is a diamond in the rough and slowly he is getting polished," smiled the Coach.
"He can still improve a great deal, but he's on the right track. Today we also had that little bit of luck you need in any win, because we knew Udinese were in good shape.
"Both sides were coming off a positive run of results. In the early stages they gave us quite a few concerns, but then Menez scored that great goal and we started to take the initiative."
