Evan Ferguson grabbed another Roma goal as Gian Piero Gasperini’s outfit scored three times in a one-sided first half to beat Genoa 3-1 on Monday and move into fourth place in Serie A.

Matías Soulé’s neatly taken goal after 13 minutes was followed quickly by an opportunistic strike by Manu Koné - assisted by Ferguson - as the home side overran its lowly opponent.
