English midfielder Tino Anjorin marked his first start for Empoli by setting up the opening goal in a 2-0 win at Cagliari in Serie A on Friday.
The win was Empoli’s fifth game in a row undefeated, the club’s best start to a season in Serie A.
Anjorin made his full debut after a summer move from Chelsea and his neat pass through the defense set up Lorenzo Colombo after 33 minutes.
Sebastiano Esposito added a second three minutes into the second half.
Cagliari has not hit the net in its last three games. It has two points from five games.
Verona played Torino later Friday.
