Argentinian international Paulo Dybala led Roma to the top of the Serie A with a brace in their 3-0 victory over Monza in the fourth round. The Argentine, who joined from Juventus this summer, scored his first goals for the capital team, reaching his personal milestone of 100 goals in Serie A, and guiding Roma to the top of the table with 10 points from three wins and a draw, one point ahead of second-placed Inter and two points ahead of third-placed Milan.
Dybala expressed his happiness at scoring his first goals for the Giallorossi during the Monza match, stating in an interview with DAZN: "I was eager to score, and luckily, my goals came in front of our fans. I am very happy with the win and we must continue to grow." He added, "The more I play, the better I feel, and my fitness levels improve. We have a busy schedule this season, so it will take some time to reach 100% fitness, but that will happen soon."
Dybala was seen laughing with Mourinho as he left the field, to which Paulo replied: "That remains between us; you should ask him what happened." He concluded: "This is a strong group; you feel positive after winning the Conference League, but it is too early to determine what we can aim for."
Inter regained their balance with a 3-1 victory over Cremonese, while their rivals and defending champions Milan settled for a goalless draw against Sassuolo on Tuesday in the fourth round.
