Santos Strikes Late to Shatter Napoli’s Dream in Thrilling Serie A Opener Against Roma
Malen’s blistering start to life at Roma continued on Sunday, with his brace taking him to five goals in as many league goals for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.
Indeed, the on-loan Aston Villa forward became only the third player to score 4+ goals in his first five games for Roma in Serie A among those who made their debut for the club in the three points for a win era (since 1994-95), after Gabriel Omar Batistuta (six) and Stephan El Shaarawy (four).
But Napoli struck late to preserve their 23-game unbeaten league run at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, doing so for the first time since between February 1986 and February 1988 (31 under Ottavio Bianchi).
