    In Stats: Numbers worth knowing after latest win


    Here are a few key facts and figures to emerge from Wednesday's win at the Stadio Olimpico...

    Jordan Veretout and Edin Dzeko grabbed the goals for the Giallorossi in a 2-1 win, the club's third in succession in Serie A.

    23

    Roma have now won 23 games in a row against newly-promoted sides in Serie A. The last time they didn't pick up maximum points in such a game was back in August 2016, in a 2-2 draw with Cagliari in Sardinia. The Giallorossi continue to extend their own record; the second best streak was Napoli's 15 straight wins between 2016 and 2019.

    8

    The number of penalties the Giallorossi have now scored this season in Serie A, from a total of 10 given.

    10

    Jordan Veretout has scored 10 of the 12 penalties he has taken in Serie A in his career.

    18

    The number of times Roma have now hit the woodwork in Serie A this season. Only Napoli (22) have done it more often.

    15

    The number of headers scored by Edin Dzeko since his arrival at the club. In that same period only two players have managed more: Leonardo Pavoletti (25) and Duvan Zapata (16).

    6

    The number of headers Dzeko has scored this season. Only Robert Lewandowski (8) and Sebastian Andersson (7) have managed more in all five of Europe's top leagues.

    1

    Verona scored with their only shot on target of the entire match - Ivan Juric's side have not managed few shots on target than that all season (they also managed just one in their game against AC Milan in September 2019).

    105

    The number of goals Edin Dzeko now has in total for the Giallorossi - making him the club's all-time leading foreign goalscorer on his own (and fifth alone in the overall standings). The goal against Verona saw him move clear of Argentina-born Pedro Manfredini to grab the record.
