"Roma climbed to the Serie A summit as goals in either half from Lorenzo Pellegrini and Zeki Celik sealed a 2-0 win over Udinese at Stadio Olimpico. Having seen AC Milan drop points to Parma on Saturday and Napoli fall to defeat at Bologna ahead of kick-off, the Giallorossi took full advantage to lead the division by two points. Inter have the chance to replace Gian Piero Gasperini's side at the top later on Sunday, however, when they host Lazio at San Siro."
"Data Debrief: A good omen for Roma? Roma have not won the Scudetto since the 2000-01 season, but their strong start under Gasperini in 2025 has them dreaming of glory once again. Indeed, the Giallorossi have registered at least 24 points after their first 11 Serie A games of a season for the sixth time in the three-points-per-win era. In all previous five, they have ended the campaign inside the top three, the last coming in 2017-18 when they finished third."
Roma moved to the top of Serie A with a 2-0 home victory over Udinese at Stadio Olimpico, benefiting from rivals dropping points. Lorenzo Pellegrini converted a first-half penalty after Hassane Kamar handled in the box, and Zeki Celik doubled the lead early in the second half with a composed finish. Roma created 13 shots for an expected goals total of 1.56, while Udinese managed 10 attempts and an xG of 1.12. Pellegrini has now scored two goals in seven appearances, and the win placed Roma two points clear of the chasing pack.
