Five best counter-attacking teams in Europe

1. Roma- 5 goals

Roma have already scored five goals on the counter-attack this season, as they continue to enjoy their dominance in Serie A.

The Italians, who have conceded just one goal this season, lead the current table with 27 points, five clear of Napoli and Juventus. They recently equalled the record for the best start to a Serie A season, when they won 1-0 at Udinese to claim their ninth victory in nine matches.

Rudi Garcia’s side have displayed an array of attacking options that often force their opponents into a huge defensive effort. Considering that 68% of Roma’s goals this season have come in the second half of matches, it seems the league leaders are most threatening when the opposition defence starts to show signs of tiredness.
