On the 9th day of Serie A, AS Roma scored a very important victory against Monza (1-0) to get back to the top. In numerical superiority following the expulsion of Danilo d’Ambrosio before the break, José Mourinho’s men struggled to force the opposing lock and had to rely on Stephan El Shaarawy. Entering the hour mark, the transalpine striker came out of his box at the end of the game to score the winning goal and could not hold back his tears as he celebrated.
The reason ? The Italian international (30 caps, 6 goals) is accused by certain media of being involved in the sports betting scandal which has been stirring up Italy for several weeks. “I felt a lot of emotion when I scored the winning goal after a week that was very heavy for me. I was angry to see my name mentioned in this matter even though I am a professional”the former Monegasque justified himself at the microphone of DAZN after the match against Monza.
