Overview
- Donyell Malen's hat-trick on Friday in Rome sealed a 3-0 win over last-place Pisa and took his Serie A tally for Roma to 10 goals in 12 games.
- The victory moved Roma up to sixth in the table, level on points with Juventus and one behind fourth-placed Como with six league matches remaining.
- Malen's latest appearance pushed him beyond the 50% threshold in his loan deal, meeting one trigger in Roma's €25 million obligation to buy from Aston Villa.
- Reports in Italy say Roma have already set aside the fee and expect to complete the permanent transfer even if the separate Champions League placement clause is not met.
- Pisa stayed bottom after a seventh defeat in eight games and remains winless away from home this season.
