Cerci ends Roma’s 100 per cent start to the Serie A season
The Rome club had won 10 games in a row
Roma’s 100 per cent record in Serie A finally ended on Sunday night when they were held 1-1 at Torino in their 11th game of the season.
Kevin Strootman put Roma ahead in the first half before Alessio Cerci’s 63rd-minute equaliser ended goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis’s outstanding run of seven successive clean sheets, a total of 744 minutes’ playing time.
Roma lead Serie A with 31 points from 11 games followed by Napoli and the title-holders Juventus on 28 and Internazionale on 22.
The only other goal Roma have conceded this season was in their third game against Parma, which they went on to win 3-1.
