Miralem Pjanic’s eight goals this season make him Roma’s top scorer. Currently on his most prolific run since joining the club, the Bosnian midfielder took his tally to 26 goals in all competitions for Roma, drawing level with Gervinho, Brazilian Paulo Sergio and Argentine Alejandro Scopelli in 48th place on the Giallorossi’s all-time top scorers chart. Pjanic is now just a solitary strike behind stars of Roma’s first two league titles, Aristide Coscia and Paulo Roberto Falcao.

Sadiq Umar made his first-team debut as a late substitute against Bologna - the 11th player to make his debut this season after Szczesny, Salah, Dzeko, Falque, Digne, Rudiger, Vainqueur, Soleri, Gyomber and Emerson Palmieri. The Primavera forward, 18, becomes the third Nigerian to represent the Giallorossi in competitive action after Akande Ajide (one appearance) and Adwale Wahab (four games).

That’s now 121 league games for the Giallorossi man, which takes him alongside Antonio Tempestilli.

The last time the two teams drew 2-2 in Bologna came in 1972 – when Liborio Liguori and Renato Cappellini grabbed the goals.
