Empoli secured a 2-0 victory over Cagliari on Friday, marking the club’s best-ever start to a Serie A season. English midfielder Tino Anjorin, in his first start since joining Empoli from Chelsea, assisted the opening goal. His precise pass found Lorenzo Colombo, who scored after 33 minutes.
The victory extended Empoli’s unbeaten run to five matches, making this their best start in the top Italian league. Sebastiano Esposito added a second goal just three minutes into the second half, solidifying the win.
Cagliari, meanwhile, struggled offensively, failing to score for the third consecutive match. They have only two points from their first five games of the season.
In another Serie A fixture, Verona faced Torino later in the evening.
