Serie A 2025-26: Roma top of Serie A with win at Cremonese, Ferguson finally scores
AS Roma went provisionally top of the Serie A standings with a 3-1 win at Cremonese on Sunday, where Irish striker Evan Ferguson came off the bench and ended his almost 13-month goal drought at club level.
In an action-packed first half, which included a Roma goal ruled out for offside and a Cremonese penalty overturned, the visitor took the lead through Matias Soule’s shot from the edge of the area in the 17th minute.

Ferguson was introduced on the hour mark, and four minutes later, the 21-year-old netted his first goal for Roma. Wesley Franca wrapped up the win after another five minutes, with Francesco Folino heading in a stoppage-time consolation goal for the hosts.
Roma is on 27 points, two points ahead of Napoli, which beat Atalanta 3-1 on Saturday. Inter Milan is third on 24 points, ahead of its clash with AC Milan later on Sunday. Cremonese is 12th in the standings on 14 points.
