Sunday evening’s defeat ended Roma’s five game winning streak in all competitions.

This was the first time Roma have failed to find the back of the net in the top-flight since that Matchday 1 stalemate at Verona, with Paulo Fonseca’s side scoring 19 times across their seven subsequent games on the scoresheet that were sandwiched by those two rare blanks.

Gianluca Mancini’s withdrawal in the 38th minute is the first time he has not seen out the entire 90 minutes of a Serie A fixture this season and he was the only Roma player to have played every minute of the league campaign until his first half substitution.

Italy international Mancini made his 50th Roma appearance in all competitions on Sunday, 41 of which have come in Serie A.

Pedro made his 350th appearance across Europe’s top-five leagues, with this his ninth Serie A outing as Napoli became the 66th different opponent the Spaniard has faced over his time in La Liga, the Premier League and Serie A.
