Roma beat Sassuolo 3-0 on 7 November, and Gian Piero Gasperini said the club are in the mix for the Scudetto race.
Goals and attacking numbers
Roma scored through Mario Hermoso, a deflected Donyell Malen effort and Rodrigo Mora’s angled drive. Roma had 28 shots against Sassuolo, who had lost five matches in a row.
Gasperini on Roma’s attack
Gasperini told Sky Sport Italia: “Undoubtedly, this season we improved a lot in attack, so now we score lots of goals in different ways and with different players.”
He also told Sky Sport Italia: “There were some very strong performances this evening, including a great Hermoso goal to break the deadlock, and it was not easy against a side that clammed up, but we played with quality.”
Gasperini on the title race
Asked if he’d take second place right now, Gasperini said: “I don’t know, it’s fun to play this season. We must not delude ourselves or disappoint ourselves, so there’s no harm in dreaming, especially with the journey that we are on. I don’t know what we could be capable of achieving.”
Upcoming fixtures
Inter and Como face each other on Sunday. Lazio face Napoli away, while Lazio have won nine of their last 10 games.
