Pedro was delighted to prove Roma's matchwinner in victory over Udinese.

The former Chelsea attacker struck the only goal of the game.

“I am happy for the goal, to have helped the team and the very important three points," Pedro told DAZN.

“It was a good performance and naturally we are pleased with the win. It's difficult because Udinese are a tough side to break down and they don't allow many chances, but we managed to get through and secure the win.

“I scored today, but someone else can score next time, the important thing is that the team wins and we bring home results, because Roma must always play to get the victory."

He added: “My celebration with three fingers was for my children, my partner, but also pointing to the sky because someone very close to me that I knew in my youth in Tenerife has recently died, so it was dedicated to them."
