Jose Mourinho's AS Roma recorded their first win of the 2023-24 season with a 7-0 home thrashing of bottom-placed Empoli in Serie A on Sunday.

Paulo Dybala gave Roma the lead, converting from the spot in the second minute after a penalty was awarded for a handball.

Renato Sanches doubled the advantage in the eighth, nodding home a cushioned cross by Rasmus Kristensen, before Empoli’s Alberto Grassi made it 3-0 to Roma with an own goal in the 35th minute. Captain Gianluca Mancini completed the rout with a header from Cristante backheel cross following a corner on an entertaining night at the Stadio Olimpico.

Empoli became the third team in the Serie A history to have lost their first four games of a season without scoring, after Mantova in 1964-65 and Padova in 1994-95. “I believe that at this moment the responsibility isn’t just the coach’s: It’s everyone’s, including me,” said Empoli sporting director Pietro Accardi.
