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 victory over Udinese in Serie A on Saturday, leaving them just one point behind joint-leaders Inter Milan and Lazio. Gian Piero Gasperini's team dominated the match, scoring all of their goals in the first half, with Ryan Cristante, Rodrigo Mora, Donyell Malen, and Evan Ndicka finding the back of the net. The visitors also hit the woodwork twice, but Udinese managed to improve after halftime, with Nicolo Zaniolo scoring a goal against his former club and Matteo Palma adding another with a volley.
Despite their efforts, Udinese fell to 19th place on five points after a seven-match winless run. In other news, Bologna claimed their third consecutive win, moving into eighth place, after coming from behind to beat Monza 2-1. League top scorer Gustavo Varela netted his ninth goal of the season from the penalty spot, with Tommaso Pobega and Federico Bernardeschi managing to score for Monza before Bologna's goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski saved a late Patrick Cutrone penalty.
The highlight for fans will be the upcoming Milan Derby between AC Milan and Inter Milan at San Siro.
