In stats: 10 notable numbers from draw with Juventus

Here are some notable numbers from the second matchday of the new campaign...

1

Marash Kumbulla made his first appearance for the Giallorossi since joining the club from Hellas Verona earlier this month.

2

Antonio Mirante represented Juventus seven times in Serie B in 2006-07 and there were just two other survivors from that side in the visitors’ squad at the Olimpico - Giorgio Chiellini and Gianluigi Buffon.

5

Paulo Fonseca’s side have now gone five games unbeaten at home in Serie A (W3, D2) and haven’t lost in the capital since last season’s 2-0 defeat at the hands of Udinese on 2 June.

6

Veretout’s first half penalty was his 13th Serie A goal from the spot - and it took the French midfielder’s 100 per cent record from 12-yards in red and yellow to six out of six.

7

Roma have lost just one of their last seven Serie A matches at home to Juve (W3, D3, L1) - a sequence that dates back to May, 2014.

11

Of the 11 goals served up across the last three fixtures between these two sides, five have come courtesy of penalties - three for Roma, two for Juve.

16

Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s assist was his 16th goal contribution in a Roma shirt (nine goals, seven assists).

21

Veretout’s second goal on the stroke of half-time took him to 21 Serie A goals, and his ninth in a Roma shirt. It was also his second brace for the club, having hit a double in a 2-1 win over former club Fiorentina on Matchday 36 of the 2019-20 campaign.

Only one other Frenchman has managed a pair of braces for the Giallorossi: Vincent Candela.

1000

With up to 1,000 fans allowed back into Serie A stadiums, there was the very welcome sight of Roma supporters returning to the Stadio Olimpico for the first time since the 4-0 win over Lecce in February.

2007

The last Roma player before Veretout to score a home brace against Juventus was Francesco Totti back in September 2007.
