It's also working without Mourinho: Lukaku gives Roma victory with a goal and an assist | sports

Five substitutions in the ranks of Roma after the desperate defeat against Milan. New coach Daniele De Rossi wanted to make his mark and quickly forget Mourinho in the first leg against Hellas Verona. No changes in attack You cannot easily put a striker like Romelu Lukaku on the bench.

His teammates love visiting him. Sometimes a little too much. Eduardo Bove was alone in front of goal, but passed the ball back to Big Rom. I couldn't finish, the opportunity was lost. Ten minutes later, El Shaarawy was able to stop three players. The Italian also had a good look around and served Lukaku who was crossed. This time it hits. His ninth this season.

Lukaku is getting better and better in the game, and he is playing football too. Just before the half-hour mark, the Red Devil advanced from the right. The cross that followed is worth seeing. El Shaarawy was still deflecting and Pellegrini was able to finish the ball. What a start for Rossi.

The hardest part is already behind us. Volochno seemed to restore the tension with an equalizing goal immediately after the end of the first half, but it was disallowed due to an attacking error. Verona for a particularly long time refused to bring back the tension. After a handball by the Romans, the ball hit the penalty spot, but Duric missed the penalty kick.

Then Folorushno tried it from afar. This time with success. Rui Patricio didn't look good, but it didn't matter for the visitors: 2-1.

There is no longer a dangerous final attack. Roma knows what it means to win again.
