Donyell Malen delivered a masterclass on Friday, netting a stunning hat-trick to power Roma to a comfortable 3-0 victory over struggling Pisa. The Dutch forward, who has been a revelation since his January loan move from Aston Villa, single-handedly dismantled the Serie A's bottom side.
Malen announced his intentions early, slicing through the Pisa defense after just three minutes to slot home the opener. He doubled Roma's lead just before halftime, showing sharp instincts to finish from point-blank range. His treble was completed seven minutes into the second half, as he expertly finished a sublime through ball from Matias Soule, capping a dominant individual performance.
This clinical display brings Malen's tally to an impressive 10 goals in just 12 league appearances for Roma, solidifying his status as one of the signings of the season. The win provides a crucial boost for Roma, who had managed only one victory in their previous seven matches across all competitions.
The three points lift Roma to sixth in the Serie A table, now level on points with Juventus. For Pisa, the defeat marks a seventh loss in eight games, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the league and deepening their relegation fears as their winless away record continues.
