Roma’s win joins Mourinho's side with Serie A historical record rout

Led by Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho, AS Roma won for the first time this Serie A season as Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala was among the scorers in a 7-0 rout of Empoli. This great result became the largest historical result in the career of the “Mourinho Special One”, which exceeded 1,000 club matches. The Giallorossi started the match in the relegation zone but secured a huge home win which equals the record margin of victory in a modern Serie A match. The result means Jose Mourinho's men have climbed from 18th to 12th. The home side ran up a comfortable first-half lead. The result matches the eight previous 7-0 wins teams have managed in Serie A since the competition introduced three points for a win in 1994. One of those also came at the Stadio Olimpico in November 2006, when Roma hammered Catania under the guidance of current Italy manager Luciano Spalletti. No Italian team has won by more than seven goals since Juventus thumped Inter Milan 9-1 at home in April 1961, and Roma were responsible for an equally emphatic hammering when they embarrassed Napoli 8-0 two years earlier. Roma also won 9-0 at home to Cremonese in October 1929 but the overall top-flight record remains Torino's 10-0 win at home to Alessandria in May 1948. Mourinho, who had emphasized Roma's potential but bemoaned their absentees before the game, last triumphed by such a large scoreline when he led Real Madrid to an 8-1 home win over Almeria in May 2011.
