AS Roma records best offensive start in 65 years

AS Roma has achieved its most productive offensive start in 65 years under manager Gian Piero Gasperini. Through the first five matches of the Serie A season, the team has scored 14 goals, a feat surpassed only by the 1960/61 squad. This marks a significant improvement from the same period last season, when the team scored only five goals.

The attacking success is driven by Donyell Malen, who has six goals, and his partnership with Paulo Dybala. Roma has demonstrated high efficiency, scoring 12 of their 14 goals from open play. Additionally, the team has excelled in set-piece situations, scoring 12 goals from such plays, a figure that ranks second only to Barcelona among the top five European leagues.

Roma’s current run includes four wins and a draw against Inter, with the team having scored at least two goals in each of their first five league games—a club record that extends back into the previous season.
