In their debut game together, Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala demonstrated strong chemistry as they assisted Roma in their 7-0 Serie A victory against newly promoted Empoli on Sunday. In his second game after signing from Chelsea, Lukaku scored his first goal while Dybala scored twice. Roma's first victory of the year was accomplished with grace thanks to goals from Renato Sanches, Bryan Cristante, Gianluca Mancini, and an own goal by Alberto Grassi.
After a clear handball by Empoli defender Sebastian Walukiewicz, Jose Mourinho's Roma got off to the greatest possible start when it was given a penalty almost immediately. With fewer than two minutes remaining, Dybala sent a stunning strike into the top left corner to give his team the lead.
