Roma 2-0 Cagliari

Alessandro Florenzi goes past Cagliari defender Luca Rossettini during Roma's victory

Alessandro Florenzi set up one goal and scored another as Roma went top of Serie A with a 2-0 win over Cagliari.

Florenzi crossed for Mattia Destro's 10th-minute opener before scoring the second three minutes later after good work from Gervinho.

Florenzi was booked for climbing into the stands to celebrate the goal with his 82-year-old grandmother.

Ex-Chelsea defender Ashley Cole made his third start for Roma, who have not conceded in the league this season.

Rudi Garcia's team were Serie A runners-up last term and have won all three of their league matches so far.

Defending champions Juventus, who beat AC Milan 1-0 on Saturday, are the only other team with a 100% record.

Former Arsenal forward Gervinho, who scored twice in Roma's 5-1 Champions League victory over CSKA Moscow on Wednesday, was at the heart of much of Roma's best play as they cruised to victory over Cagliari.

Cagliari, who finished 15th last season, are still waiting for their first win of this campaign.
