In stats: 10 notable numbers from a five-star victory over Benevento

Roma saw off Benevento 5-2 on Sunday evening, with Edin Dzeko making history in the process.

Here are some notable numbers from the win that puts the Giallorossi seventh in the table and extends their unbeaten home record…

1

Carles Perez’s stunning goal that put the gloss on the three points was his first of the season and also the Spaniard’s third as a Roma player.

2

Pedro Rodriguez’s first half equaliser was his second goal for the club and, following his winner against Udinese last time out, the Spaniard has now scored in successive league matches for the first time since August 2018.

3

The Giallorossi have now played Benevento three times, winning on all three occasions and scoring 14 goals in the process.

6

Roma’s victory took their unbeaten league run on home soil to six matches (W4, D2).

7

All seven of Jordan Veretout’s most recent Roma goals have come at home and the Frenchman has now scored in each of his last three games at the Olimpico, tucking home four penalties in the process.

He has also converted all seven of his penalties as a Roma player and has now scored 14 from 16 in Serie A.

9

Only Juventus (10) have scored more goals from the penalty spot than Roma (9) across Europe's top-five leagues since the start of the 2020 calendar year.

13

Roma skipper Dzeko scored his 13th goal in his last 11 appearances against newly promoted sides and now has five goals in three meetings with Benevento.

24

This was Roma’s 24th win on the spin over most recently promoted teams and the 51st consecutive match in which they’ve scored against said opponents - chalking up 122 goals at an average of 2.4 goals a game during that run.

80

Dzeko’s brace were his first goals of the season and his 79th and 80th goals respectively in Serie A, taking him up to fifth on Roma's list for most Serie A goals.

108

All-in, Dzeko has now scored 108 goals in a Roma shirt, with his latest efforts moving the Bosnia-Herzegovina captain to outright fourth on the club’s all-time top goalscorers list ahead of Rodolfo Volk (106) and just three behind Amedeo Amadei (111) in third.
