Alberto Grassi - Own goal in lossGrassi had an own goal and two shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 7-0 defeat versus Roma.

ImpactGrassi did not help the cause in Sunday's 7-0 loss to Roma, committing an own goal in the 35th minute to bring the Wolves lead to three. He had a pretty brutal match even if the own goal didn't happen, only registering two shots and two interceptions in the loss. The midfielder looks to be set for a rotational role this season after only appearing in three of their first four matches, with only two of them being in a starting role.

Etrit Berisha - Brutal day in netBerisha recorded three saves and allowed seven goals in Sunday's 7-0 defeat to Roma.

ImpactBerisha was left completely helpless in the net on Sunday as he allowed seven goals in the loss. He was not given much help from his defense but also struggled himself, only making three saves despite facing nine shots. He only took over the starting role two matches ago after Elia Caprile went down with an injury, but Berisha has struggled in those two starts, allowing nine goals while making six saves. After Berisha's poor performance, there is a slight chance that Samuele Perisan will get the start in goal against Inter Milan on Sunday.

Rasmus Kristensen - Bags first assist of seasonKristensen assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 7-0 victory against Empoli.

ImpactKristensen bagged his first assist of the season after finding Renato Sanches for the second goal of Sunday's match. He has now registered three starts for Roma, notching three chances created, four crosses (two accurate) and six tackles (three won) over those matches. His next match available will be on Sunday against Torino due to being left out of the UEL squad for financial fair play reasons.

Andrea Belotti - Registers two assists against EmpoliBelotti assisted twice to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 7-0 win versus Empoli.

ImpactBelotti is off to a hot start this Serie A campaign, notching his third and fourth goal contributions of the season in Sunday's 7-0 win. He registered two assists within minutes of each other after finding Bryan Cristante in the 79th minute and Romelu Lukaku in the 82nd minute. He now has four goal contributions in four matches after scoring two goals in the first match of the season. The 29-year-old only appeared as a substitute against Empoli but should be back in the starting lineup after his performance.

Gianluca Mancini - Scores final goal of matchMancini scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 7-0 win over Empoli.

ImpactMancini put the cherry on top of Roma's 7-0 demolishing of Empoli after scoring the final goal of the match in the 86th minute. It was his first goal this season, and he has now already matched his total from last season. The defender also was decent in the defense, notching one block, three tackles (two won) and five clearances in the win.

Renato Sanches - First goal contribution with RomaSanches scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 7-0 victory against Empoli. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 39th minute...

ImpactSanches bagged his first goal contribution for the club after scoring in the eighth minute from a Rasmus Kristensen pass. This was also the midfielder's first start this season after dealing with a lingering thigh injury. Roma seems to still be testing his fitness after only playing 45 minutes on Sunday. He will most likely be in a position battle for the starting spot with Leandro Paredes and Houssem Aouar, as Sanches tries to return to full fitness.

Romelu Lukaku - Nets first goal with RomaLukaku scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 7-0 win versus Empoli.

ImpactLukaku earned his first start and goal for Roma in Sunday's 7-0 thrashing of Empoli. The Belgian forward bagged his goal late into the match after Andrea Belotti found him in the 82nd minute for the sixth goal of the match. Lukaku will most likely battle for most of this season to stay in a starting role but is off to a good start after netting a goal Sunday.
