Serie A: Humiliation for Mourinho as Roma lose 4-1 to Genoa

Jose Mourinho’s Roma were thrashed 4-1 by Genoa in a Serie A clash on Thursday.

This leaves them sitting just above the relegation zone in Italy’s topflight.

Albert Gudmundsson opened the scoring after five minutes, before Bryan Cristante equalised for Roma after 22 minutes.

But Genoa came out firing after the break with Gudmundsson and Morten Thorsby combining superbly to set up Mateo Retegui to finish off with a half-volley.

Thorsby added a third after 74 minutes with Junior Messias sending in the fourth seven minutes later through a porous Roman defence.

Watching from the stands, Roma legend Francesco Totti left the Luigi-Ferraris stadium after Genoa’s fourth goal.

Aiming for a return to the Champions League next season, Mourinho’s side find themselves fighting to remain in the top flight.
