Roma beat Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico with a comfortable three-goal win, scoring twice in the first half and once in the second, though the margin could have been six or seven. The result left the Giallorossi unbeaten in eleven league matches. They have not lost since April, when they were beaten at Inter, and have not dropped points at home in a year, since the match against Napoli.
Sassuolo arrived as the designated victims, having suffered a series of heavy defeats at home and away and lost the sparkle of their early-season form, which had included a win over Juventus. Their defence is the worst in Serie A, and it could not cope with Gasperini's goal machine. Roma have failed to score in only one league match this season, at Como, and have scored more than once in every other fixture. Sassuolo's coach Fabio Grosso's side now head home with three more goals conceded and a sorry league position.
The result also means Gasperini has surpassed his own record, set in 2019 with Atalanta, for the best such run of his career. Roma's focus now turns to the direct clashes due later today, before the league goes into its international break. Alessandro Angeloni, writing in Il Messaggero, described the win as a comfortable stroll for the hosts once the match had been decided in the first half-hour.

“Storia di una partita mai nata: due gol nel primo tempo, uno nel secondo. E potevano essere sei o sette. Il Sassuolo è servito. La Roma, certe occasioni, non se le fa scappare: studia gli avversari di turno, li aggredisce e li conquista in un attimo e non lascia scampo. E poi, visto che in…”

Roma beat Sassuolo convincingly at the Stadio Olimpico, with Mario Hermoso standing out as the man who was everywhere on the pitch, while Esposito was kept quiet and frustrated. The match report and player ratings from the Italian press highlight the performances of Gasperini's side in a comfortable win.
Roma eased to a 3-0 home win over Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico, with 64,674 spectators inside the stadium on Friday evening, as the team continued their run of attacking football under Gian Piero Gasperini. Sassuolo, coached by former Roma midfielder Aquilani, conceded three goals but could count themselves fortunate given that Roma took 28 shots. The win leaves Roma with a comfortable afternoon on the sofa, and the three points take them forward in the season. The result means Roma have scored 31 goals after 11 matchdays. At the current rate, that projects to 107 goals by the end of the Serie A season, an offensive output that is close to unprecedented for the club. Roma's attacking display has become the talking point of their campaign, with the Olimpico crowd enjoying what Il Corriere della Sera's Simone Valdarchi described as the club's 'amusement park'. Valdarchi, writing for Il Corriere della Sera, captured the mood inside the stadium, describing Gasperini's side as a band delivering another ride for an enthusiastic home crowd. Roma's dominance in shots and the three goals scored against Sassuolo underline a side that has taken its attacking identity to a new level this season.
Roma eased to a 3-0 win over Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico, a result that came just days after a painful defeat at Old Trafford. The Giallorossi were never in danger in a match that the article describes as never in doubt, ending a run of nine games in 27 days before the international break. The result matters because Roma have shown they can move on quickly from setbacks under Gian Piero Gasperini. The article notes that, in past seasons, such collapses often led to lingering tension and outbursts around Trigoria, but this squad has handled the Manchester defeat with maturity and composure. Roma, the piece argues, are a team that will be in the title race until the end of the Serie A season. Gasperini set up in a 3-4-2-1 and kept nine players from the Manchester game. Balerdi started as a clear sign of unwavering trust, a deliberate message to remove any doubt about his position after his costly error a few days earlier. Sassuolo's coach Aquilani, making his first competitive appearance as a head coach at the Olimpico, lined up with Matic in midfield, Thorstvedt as the anchor and a three-man midfield when defending. The external duels were Wesley against Cinquegrano and Molina against Doig, while Mora and Soulé drifted inside to link up with Malen. Roma were patient in possession, moving the ball quickly with rapid triangles, although spaces were tight. Sassuolo's first real chance came from a venomous low drive from Matic from 16 metres, which Vásquez stretched to save. Vásquez was ready again later, and the article notes that his replacements have shown Roma have not suffered without Svilar, who is likely to miss the last Serie A game in his absence. Against a deep Sassuolo block, the wide midfielders and wing-backs had to support Malen, while the speed of Esposito and Laurienté in transition posed a danger. Hermoso broke the deadlock after 30 minutes with a forceful finish, and Malen soon doubled the lead with a fortunate goal. Sassuolo kept four players on the halfway line at corners, and the article suggests Roma could have used blocks or quick short passing routes to create better chances in those moments. Roma's possession and territorial dominance before half-time gave them a reassuring two-goal cushion. Aquilani switched to a 3-4-3 at half-time, bringing on Bowie for Matic and Cinquegrano, with Van den Brempt operating as right wing-back. Roma responded immediately, with Soulé finishing a superb move after a sumptuous through ball from Cristante, although Malen missed an incredible chance into an empty goal. Koné marked Thorstvedt and Cristante marked Sulemana. Malen then provided a delightful assist for Mora to make it 3-0. Gasperini made several changes to manage energy levels: Pisilli and De Roon came on for Koné and Mora, with Pisilli playing as the anchor, Koulierakis and Castro replaced Hermoso and Malen, and Ghilardi entered for Balerdi, who received applause from the Olimpico crowd despite his earlier error. Aquilani's final 3-4-3 had no effect on the outcome.
