Alessandro Florenzi scored the winning goal for Roma on Tuesday night in their 2-1 win over Torino and was left breathless.

The hometown player came off the bench and scored a 92nd minute winner to give Roma the three points.

Florenzi told Sky Italia: “I feel so emotional, first of all because I had always dreamed of scoring a goal under the Curva Sud and in two years had never managed it.

“I am happy with the result and also for our other goalscorer. People talk so much about Roma needing a striker, but I think we have one in the squad and his name in Mattia Destro.

“I stay back after training to practice my shooting. Maybe some fans get annoyed at me for missing, but I hope I repaid them tonight. This goal left me breathless.

With tonight’s win Roma have now extended their lead over Napoli to nine points with a game in hand.
