Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco was delighted with their 3-0 win over Hellas Verona.

Edin Dzeko, with a double, and Radja Nainggolan struck the goals for Roma.

"These games are to be won, they end up being decisive. Obviously, we could've scored a few more goals, but maybe we saved them for the following matches," the Coach told Mediaset Premium.

“Stephan El Shaarawy and Cengiz Under worked very hard and deserved to get on the scoresheet. You can only improve by playing consistently, but today I changed five players and had some who hadn't started yet this season.

“I am satisfied with this team, we created a great deal this evening and that's what I wanted. There's one game after another now, so we need to keep up the momentum.

“It hurts a little looking at the table right now, especially as we have a game in hand (when their trip to Sampdoria was rained off, ndr)."
