AS Roma  with a super victory at the Olimpico di Roma with a rain of goals!  Roma crushing Cesena with 5 goals and two from iconic Captain Francesco Totti breaking a record with 211 goals passing the record of Nordahl with 210.  Totti opening the score in the 1st minute and second goal in the 8th minute!

An unforgettable start for Roma with Totti immediately scoring in the very 1st minute coming from the right side to smack a right footed shot defeating Cesena goalkeeper Antonioli  in the bottom right corner after the assist by Eirk Lamela. Bam!  Party and game on for Roma with the fans acclaiming his leading Roman gladiator.
 
It's the four consecutive victory from AS Roma and a boost for coach Luis Enrique who had said before the match that he needed to earn with merits his contract renewal.  Well, you bet this smacking victory adding a big star for his renewal. 

This result puts AS Roma in the 6th position with 31 points and a positive goal difference of +8.  Roma still have a pending game to complete after the suspension for rain of Catania 1- 1 AS Roma in the 65th minute.  So, Roma might jump to the 4th position after the completion of the remaining 20 minutes of the match in February.  The opposite effect for Cesena already in relegation of the Serie A.  Cesena in the 18th position with a negative goal difference of -17.

After the match top scorer for AS ROMA is forward Pablo Osvaldo with 9 goals.
Top scorer for CESENA  is forward Adrian Mutu with 6 goals.
 

Here is the official lineup from AS ROMA by coach Luis Enrique:

AS ROMA (4-3-3): Stekelenburg; Rosi, Juan, Heinze, Taddei; Gago, Greco, Pjanic; Totti (65' Viviani), Lamela (54' Bojan), Borini.


  Here is the official lineup from CESENA by coach Daniele Arrigoni:

CESENA (4-4-2): Antonioli; Comotto, Rodriguez, Von Bergen, Lauro; Ceccarelli, Guana, Parolo, Colucci; Mutu, Eder.

Second goal of the match in the 8th minute, again, with Super Francesco Totti continuing writing his history with Roma. Yep, Totti now with the 211 goals for Roma!  The combo a deja vu.  Assist again from Erik Lamela towards the center for Totti to deliver a right footed shot defeating Cesena goalkeeper Antonioli who won't forget this match.....

One minute later, and bam!  AS Roma increasing the score in the 9th minute with Fabio Borini with a right footed shot after assist by Leandro Greco following a fast break for the third goal of the match.

Cesena shortening the distance in the 58th minute with assist by Antonio Candreva to forward Citadin Eder delivering a left footed shot from close range defeating AS Roma goalkeeper Stekelenburg in the center.  

Goals continuing raining at the Olimpico with a fourth one!  In the 62nd minute after the headed shot saved by Antonioli from Fabio Borini, though immediately Juan with a right footed shot  from close range scoring the fourth goal of the match defeating Cesena goalkeeper Antonioli in the bottom right corner... nothing to do for Cesena.  The Roman gladiators dominating.
