Overview
- Roma, which routed Fiorentina 4-0 on Monday in Rome, moved to within one point of fourth place with three Serie A matches remaining.
- Gianluca Mancini, Wesley, Mario Hermoso and Niccolò Pisilli scored, and Donyell Malen twice struck the woodwork before setting up Pisilli’s header.
- Manu Koné returned for his first start since March and assisted Hermoso, while Paulo Dybala was fit for the bench as Lorenzo Pellegrini, Artem Dovbyk, Evan Ferguson and Bryan Zaragoza remained out and Neil El Aynaoui was suspended.
- Coach Gian Piero Gasperini said Roma cannot afford a mistake, praised the unity in the squad and indicated the team should be strengthened rather than dismantled heading into next season.
- Fiorentina, depleted by absences including Moise Kean and Tariq Lamptey, stayed 16th and largely safe after Cremonese’s loss earlier in the day.
