US EditionGasperini picking up right where Ranieri left off as Roma moves atop Serie A
- AS Roma secured a 2-1 come-from-behind victory against Fiorentina on Sunday in Serie A, moving atop the league standings.
- Roma's recent success came as they aimed to bounce back following their 1-0 defeat to Lille in the Europa League last Thursday, and with Gasperini taking over the team after Ranieri retired last season, having personally chosen him as his successor.
- Fiorentina opened the scoring through Moise Kean's long-range strike, but Roma equalized with Matias Soule's shot and took the lead via Bryan Cristante's header from a corner.
- Roma conceded just two goals in six matches while scoring seven, with Gasperini's side now having five wins in six Serie A games, and the club is three points clear of AC Milan, Napoli, and Inter Milan.
- The result implies Roma continues its strong start under Gasperini, maintaining better defense than attack, while Fiorentina remains 17th, winless in six games, with boos from their home crowd more about league position than performance.
