Malen on fire as Roma go top in Serie A
Donyell Malen scores twice in the 4-0 win, extending his scoring run after hitting a hattrick in his previous match.
Roma's Donyell Malen once again proved his worth as the hero, leading his team to a commanding 4-0 victory over Lecce in Serie A on Monday. The Dutch international notched a brace, contributing to Malen's impressive tally of 19 goals from 20 league appearances since his January transfer from Aston Villa. The match saw Malen score twice in the first 24 minutes, with Matias Soule adding a goal shortly after the quarter mark.
The match-winner was 19-year-old Portuguese midfielder Rodrigo Mora, who entered the game just after the hour mark. Veteran coach Gian Piero Gasperini praised Roma's performance, stating it was of top calibre, similar to their recent 4-0 thrashing of Fiorentina. The win leaves Inter Milan, Ruben Amorim's AC Milan, Juventus, and Lazio all tied at six points after two matches.
