Mammamia! Helloooooo talking about a fast goal… and not even a minute when Roma forward Stephan El Shaarawy opened the score for the Roman gladiators! Yep, El Shaarawy defeating Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner. The headed assist is by forward Edin Dzeko.
What a hit! @OfficialEl92 runs onto Dzeko’s knockdown & curls a stunning half-volley inside the far post with the outside of his boot! WOW! pic.twitter.com/pQy2S7SQUv

Rocking time at the Olimpico! The Roman gladiators are just having a ride! In the 63rd minute, Diego Perotti to smack the third goal of the match defeating goalkeeper Courtois with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner. The assist is by Aleksandar Kolarov.
