What happened. Donyell Malen scored Roma's opening goal away at Torino, taking his Serie A tally to six goals in four matches this season. He is the first Roma player since Francesco Totti in 2002-03 to reach six goals inside the first four league games.

He opened 2026-27 with a hat-trick against Fiorentina, then a brace against Lecce.
Only Totti and Pedro Mandredini had previously hit six or more in Roma's first four.
Malen moved to Serie A from Aston Villa in the winter window.

Malen leads the Serie A scoring charts and Roma's early form will be measured against his output.
