1

Both Roger Ibanez and Borja Mayoral celebrated their first goals for the club, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s early opener was his first of the season.

2-3

Mayoral’s brace were his second and third goals in European competitions and first in the Europa League, with his other goal in Europe was the opener in a 3-2 Real Madrid victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League back in December 2017; the year Real Madrid went on to lift the trophy.

3-2

Paulo Fonseca’s men have now gone three games without conceding in all competitions and secured back-to-back European clean sheets for the first time since March 2016.

4

Roma are now unbeaten in their last four meetings with Cluj (W3, D1) and this was the first time the club have kept a clean sheet against the current Romanian champions (at the fifth attempt).

7

Victory over Cluj stretches Roma’s unbeaten home run in Europe to seven matches (W4, D3), while they have now lost only one of their last 17 games at the Olimpico in Europe (W12, D4, L1) and are unbeaten in nine in the capital in all competitions (W6, D3) for the first time since October 2018.

11

Goalkeeper Pau Lopez notched up a second shutout in three appearances so far this season - all of which have come in the Europa League - to take his personal clean sheet tally to 11 in the Roma goal.

26 and 195

The 11 players Fonseca named at the start of the game averaged 26 years and 195 days old; the youngest average age of a Roma team this season.

57

Henrikh Mkhitaryan's goal after just 57 seconds - his first in Europe for Roma and 24th overall in European club competitions - is the fastest ever scored by Roma in the Europa League.

62

Roma's No.62 - Tommaso Milanese - made his senior professional debut when the 18-year-old replaced Bryan Cristante with 16 minutes remaining - and the teenager impressively laid on Pedro's fifth for his first Roma assist too.

102

Pedro celebratd his 102nd appearance in European club competitions with his 26th goal in Europe and fourth in all competitions since signing for Roma this summer.
