31-Goal Milestone Reached as Gasperini's Side Defeats Sassuolo
Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad reached a milestone of 31 goals in their opening 11 Serie A fixtures on Saturday after securing a win against Sassuolo. The total marks both a club record and a personal best for Gasperini, who equals his previous benchmark set during Atalanta’s 2019-20 campaign.
The Giallorossi unlocked Sassuolo’s five-man defensive system with three goals inside the opening hour. Mario Hermoso opened the scoring in the 27th minute before Sebastian Walukiewicz turned the ball into his own net three minutes later. Pedrola Mora completed the scoring in the 58th minute to secure the three-point return following a recent defeat in Manchester.

The tactical system established by Gasperini has elevated Roma‘s offensive return to levels unseen in modern club history. The team broke down the low block organized by Sassuolo manager Alberto Aquilani, maintaining positional patience before scoring twice within a three-minute first-half window against goalkeeper Giacomo Turato.
The achievement places Roma alongside the high-scoring standard set by Gasperini’s 2019-20 Atalanta squad, which was the last Serie A team to hit 30 goals by this stage of the campaign. The capital club continues its domestic program with 31 goals logged across the first 11 matchdays.
