Empoli secured a 2-0 victory against Cagliari on Friday, marking the club’s best-ever start to a Serie A season. English midfielder Tino Anjorin, in his first full appearance for the club, provided the assist for the opening goal, threading a pass to Lorenzo Colombo, who scored after 33 minutes.
This win extends Empoli’s undefeated streak to five matches, a record start for the team in Italy’s top league. Anjorin, who joined Empoli from Chelsea in the summer, made an immediate impact in his starting debut.
Sebastiano Esposito doubled Empoli’s lead just three minutes into the second half, solidifying the team's position.
Meanwhile, Cagliari remains winless in its last three games and has failed to score during this period. The club now has two points from its opening five matches.
Verona is set to play Torino later on Friday.
