Roma continued the honeymoon phase with Jose Mourinho with a clean sweep of the first two matches of the Italian League and sat in third place in the standings.
Meanwhile, Salernitana, who returned to feel the atmosphere of the highest caste after 22 years of absence, still has no points and ranks 18th, according to the Italian League's official website as reported by Antara.
Despite appearing so dominant with 80 percent possession throughout the match, Roma were only able to break the deadlock in the 48th minute through Pellegrini's narrow corner kick to welcome Matias Vina's pass.
The goal seemed to open a clogged tap and four minutes later a through ball from Henrikh Mkhitaryan was completed perfectly by Veretout into the bottom right corner of the home goal.
In the 69th minute, Abraham finally scored his first goal for Roma with a right-footed shot using Carles Perez's cross.
The three-goal advantage did not make Roma relax their attack and in the 79th minute, Pellegrini scored his second goal of the game this time converting Veretout's pass.
Salernitana failed to meet the target at all in the eight attempted shots they released and had to be patient waiting for points in the highest caste again.
Oh yes! ❤️We turn it on in the second half - Pellegrini (2), Veretout and Abraham clinch the win tonight!#ASRoma #SalernitanaRoma pic.twitter.com/Vkdn00QTDa
