Turin, Aug. 6 (LaPresse) – A night to forget for Roma, who were crushed 4-0 by Aston Villa in the first of their two friendlies in England. The English side took the lead after 15 minutes with Buendia, then extended their advantage with goals from Ramsey and Watkins in the 17th and 40th minutes of the first half. In the closing stages of the second half, Malen sealed the rout with a fourth goal. Gasperini’s team will return to the pitch on Saturday, August 9, against Everton.
