Donyell Malen has had the dream debut for Roma after scoring the Giallorossi’s opening goal in their away match against Torino.
After completing a move earlier this week, joining the Serie A side from Premier League club Aston Villa, Malen has already opened his account with Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.
The Dutchman signed for the Roman club on loan with an obligation to buy, at a reported €25 million, if the Giallorossi qualify for the Champions League.
Tonight, after a nice ball from Paulo Dybala across the box, the forward kept his composure and slotted the ball past the goalkeeper, putting his side one-nil up.
