In Stats: 10 numbers from win against Fiorentina

Roma saw off Fiorentina 2-0 thanks to goals from Pedro and Leonardo Spinazzola at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, to make it five games unbeaten in the league.

Here are some notable numbers from that dominant win…

2

Leonardo Spinazzola’s opener was his second goal in Serie A for the Giallorossi and first since the Italy international opened his league account for the club in the 2-2 draw with Inter Milan on Matchday 34 of the 2019-20 season.

3

Pedro's goal was his third in his sixth Serie A appearance and he is the first player to hit those heights in their debut season since Gervinho slotted three from his first six matches after signing in 2013.

4

Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s sublime assist for Pedro’s goal that made it 2-0 was the Armenian’s fourth of the season, meaning he has more assists than any other player in Serie A so far.

5

Roma are now five games unbeaten this term and bar the 0-0 draw with Hellas Verona on Matchday 1 - later turned into a 3-0 loss - the Giallorossi have gone 13 games without defeat in Serie A.

7

Paulo Fonseca’s side are seven games without being beaten at home in the league (W5, D2) and they have scored at least two goals in each of those matches.

10

They have also won 10 of their last 14 league games, drawing a further three and their only defeat coming courtesy of the aforementioned overturned draw with Verona.

12

Jordan Veretout won the ball back 12 times in the match, five more than the next best return of any player on the pitch.

31

Chris Smalling’s second Serie A debut for Roma - this time as a permanent member of the club - was his 31st appearance in the Italian top-flight.

50

Veretout - a former Fiorentina man who spent two years with La Viola before moving to the Olimpico in 2019 - made his 50th appearance in yellow and red.

92

Smalling last featured in Serie A on Matchday 38 of last season in the 3-1 win at Juventus that closed out the 2019-20 campaign on 1 August - a whole 92 days ago.
