AS Roma and Inter Milan maintained their perfect starts to the new Serie A season on Monday, with both clubs winning their fourth consecutive league matches to move to 12 points at the top of the table.
Roma took sole possession of first place on goal difference after beating Torino 2-0 away, while defending champions Inter produced another dramatic comeback to defeat Udinese 5-3 at San Siro.
The two sides are now level on points after four rounds and will meet in their next Serie A fixture, setting up an early top-of-the-table clash.
Malen continues scoring run for Roma
Roma’s strong start has been driven in part by Donyell Malen, who scored his sixth goal of the season in Monday’s victory.
The Dutch forward opened the scoring in the 39th minute at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, capitalising on a mistake by Torino goalkeeper Franco Israel.
Roma had to wait until stoppage time to secure the result. Niccolò Pisilli scored in the 93rd minute to seal a 2-0 victory for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.
Malen’s six goals have come in Roma’s opening four league matches, underlining the impact of the former Aston Villa forward since joining the club.
