Gian Piero Gasperini appears to have transformed AS Roma into a genuine title contender. The new Serie A season could hardly have started better for the Giallorossi, who have now secured four consecutive victories to move to the top of the table.

Roma have collected the same number of points as Inter Milan, but their superior goal difference sends them into first place. Gasperini's side have scored 12 goals and conceded just one, underlining their impressive start to the campaign.

The away victory over Torino was relatively comfortable for Roma, although the visitors were far from spectacular. The game was played at a measured pace, and Torino continued to threaten until the final minutes, keeping the result in doubt.

Once again, Donyell Malen proved decisive. The forward found the net to take his tally to six goals this season, moving him clear at the top of the Serie A scoring charts.
