Roma delivered another four-goal performance in Serie A, beating Lecce 4-0 away from home and maintaining a perfect start to the season.

Donyell Malen set Roma on course for victory with goals in the fourth and 23rd minutes. Matías Soulé scored in the 25th minute, while new signing Rodrigo Mora completed the result in the 65th minute.

The win gives Gian Piero Gasperini’s team six points from two league matches. Roma also defeated Fiorentina 4-0 last week, making the identical scorelines an early feature of its campaign. Lecce remain on three points.

Roma will face Atalanta at home in the next league round. The team will then travel to Turkey to face Fenerbahçe in the Champions League, giving the result added interest for the Turkish club’s supporters.

Malen has made the strongest early impression. After scoring three times against Fiorentina, the Dutch forward found the net twice against Lecce. Since joining Roma during last season’s January transfer window, he has scored 19 goals in 20 Serie A appearances.
