Lorenzo Pellegrini’s fine form under Jose Mourinho at Roma continued on Sunday evening as the Italian scored the Giallorossi’s opener in a 2-0 win over Empoli in Serie A.
Having just signed a new contract at the Stadio Olimpico in midweek, Pellegrini was in celebratory form on Sunday, getting Roma up and running in the first half.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan added a second after the break and Mourinho’s men held on for three points that will see them spend the season’s second international break in the top four.
