Roma dominated Sassuolo and went up by three goals after just 58 minutes thanks to Hermoso (27′), Walukiewicz’s own goal (30′), and Mora (58′).
The Giallorossi responded to the defeat in Manchester by displaying the character and spectacular play they’ve shown since the start of the season.
The Romans managed, with patience, to break down the wall that Aquilani attempted to build in front of Turato with a five-man defense when they didn’t have possession.
After just 11 league games, the Giallorossi have already scored 31 goals: a record for Gian Piero Gasperini, as well as for the club.
The last Serie A team to have scored at least 30 times at this point in the season was Atalanta, coached by Gasperini from Grugliasco, in 2019-20. The Romans continue to surprise, a new milestone for Gasperini as well, who has found a way to maximize his players’ performance in front of goal.
