The 21-year-old, on loan with an option to buy from Brighton & Hove Albion, has scored his first goal for Roma at the 11th time of asking. He had gone seven Serie A appearances and three Europa League outings without a goal following his move to the Stadio Olimpico over the summer.

Ferguson, who started on the bench against Cremonese on Sunday, has finally ended his year-long drought without a goal at club level, applying the finishing touches to send Roma 2-0 up in an eventual 3-1 victory away from home.

You can see how the action unfolded on the Football Italia Liveblog.

That was his first goal at club level since October 26, 2024, when he scored Brighton’s second in an eventual 2-2 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.

“It’s been a long time coming, but I’m glad to get it now and hope to get a few more,” Ferguson told DAZN Italia after full-time on Sunday.

“Of course, there have been lots of ups and downs, but hopefully I can get some good momentum after the injury, to start playing and get more goals.”
