MILAN — Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala looked a powerful partnership in their first match together as they helped Roma crush newly promoted Empoli 7-0 in Serie A. Dybala netted twice and Lukaku scored his first goal in his second match since joining from Chelsea. Renato Sanches, Bryan Cristante and Gianluca Mancini and an own-goal from Alberto Grassi secured Roma's first win of the season in style. Dybala had missed Roma's last match against Milan — which was Lukaku's debut — through injury. Giacomo Bonaventura scored a stunning goal against his hometown club to help Fiorentina beat Atalanta 3-2. Frosinone fought back from two goals down to beat Sassuolo 4-2 and record its best-ever start to a Serie A season.
