16: Roma have now won 16 games in a row against newly-promoted sides in Serie A, a new record.

85: Monday's match was Ranieri's 85th in charge of Roma in all competitions, and his 48th win. The Italian has now surpassed Alfred Schaffer (a title winner with the club in 1942) to move into 15th on the all-time list.

2542: Claudio Ranieri returned to a Serie A dugout on Monday after 2542 days away (25 March 2012, with Inter Milan).

100: The game on Monday was Stephan El Shaarawy's 100th Serie A appearance for the Giallorossi. He now has 130 games under his belt for the club in all competitions, scoring 38 goals (32 of those in the league).

9: El Shaarawy's opening goal was his ninth of the season - increasing his lead in the club goalscoring standings over Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov (7 apiece). El Shaarawy is now enjoying his best goalscoring season since 2012-13, when he managed 16 goals with AC Milan.
