Gasperini becomes 3rd Roma coach to win 8 consecutive Serie A games Roma came from behind to win 2-1 against Atalanta in a thrilling match. The Giallorossi dominated the first half without taking the lead and went behind early in the second half after Ederson’s powerful shot left Svilar unstoppable. Gian Piero Gasperini relied on substitutions: Mora, Lulli, Mancini, Ndicka, and Malen were removed, substitutions being made as early as the 67th minute. The team stormed into the Atalanta penalty area and turned the game around in the final minutes, bringing the Stadio Olimpico to a climax: Hermoso scored in the 89th minute from a corner, and Soulé added a goal from Dybala. After three matches, Roma sits top of the table with Inter on a perfect record thanks to wins against Fiorentina, Lecce, and Atalanta. Tonight, Gian Piero Gasperini became the third Roma manager to win eight consecutive Serie A games. Opta’s data also takes into account last season, when the Giallorossi finished the season with five consecutive victories (Bologna, Fiorentina, Parma, Lazio, and Verona). The Grugliasco-born coach thus finished on the podium in this particular ranking, behind Spalletti (11 victories between 2005-2006 and 8 in 2016) and Rudi Garcia (11 in 2013 and 9 in 2014).
