The entire Olimpico was waiting for Malen, but Bryan Cristante was the one who started the Giallorossi’s hat-trick against Cremonese.
A perfect header from Pellegrini’s corner left Audero with no chance, putting Roma’s game on the back foot.
The Giallorossi’s header is a skill the Cristante has mastered over the years, so much so that he tops a special ranking.
His first headed goal in Serie A dates back to February 12, 2017, in a Palermo-Atalanta match.
As Opta reports, Cristante has since scored the most goals from this method, now reaching 15, surpassing Milinkovic-Savic, who stands at 14.
This is an additional weapon for Gasperini, who knows he can count on Bryan as a true specialty.
