Roma thrash Udinese ahead of Milan derby
Gian Piero Gasperini’s unbeaten side moved up to 24 points in Serie A after securing a 5-2 away win against Udinese.
Roma secured a 5-2 away victory against struggling Udinese in Serie A, moving one point behind joint-leaders Inter Milan and Lazio on Saturday. Gian Piero Gasperini's unbeaten side dominated, scoring five goals before halftime, including two penalties. Rodrigo Mora, Donyell Malen, and Evan Ndicka all netted early, with Nicolo Zaniolo scoring against his former club.
Matteo Palma added a second half volley. Udinese improved after the break but Daniele Ghilardi's stoppage-time goal left them in 19th place with five points after an eight-match winless run. Meanwhile, Bologna claimed a third consecutive win, climbing into eighth place after coming from behind to beat Monza 2-1. League top scorer Gustavo Varela scored his ninth goal of the season from the penalty spot, but Bologna's goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski saved a late Patrick Cutrone penalty. Later, AC Milan and Inter Milan face off in a highly anticipated Milan Derby at San Siro.
