In Stats: 10 numbers from Milan loss


We’ve picked out 10 numbers from Roma’s narrow 2-1 loss to AC Milan on Sunday night, their first home defeat in Serie A this season.

4

Leonardo Spinazzola’s assist for Jordan Veretout’s equaliser was his fourth in Serie A so far this term, with only Juan Cuadrado (5) registering more from defence so far this season.

5

The Giallorossi have found the back of the net in five of their last six meetings with Milan at the Stadio Olimpico, with their only blank during that time coming in February 2018 (0-2).

8

Roma managed eight shots on target in this match, which is their second highest such output of the campaign behind the nine they managed at Genoa in the 3-1 win in November last year.

9

This is only Roma’s second loss in nine home matches against Milan (W4, D3, L2).

10

With his superb second half strike, Veretout became the first French midfielder since Michel Platini (1982-83, 1983-84, 1984-85 and 1985-86) to score 10 or more goals in a single Serie A season.

12

This defeat ended Roma’s 12-game unbeaten league sequence at the Olimpico in 2020-21 (W9, D3) and also brought to an end Roma’s run of four consecutive home wins in all competitions.

15

Their first half penalty was the 15th time Milan have been awarded a spot-kick in the top-flight this season - more than any other team.

37

There were a total of 37 shots between the two sides, with an incredible 23 goalscoring opportunities across the 90 minutes.

244

Roma conceded for the first time in 244 minutes of Serie A football when Franck Kessie converted from the penalty spot.

Ante Rebic’s second was Milan’s first goal from open play in 258 minutes of football.
