Roma coach Paulo Fonseca heaped praise on Lorenzo Pellegrini after their 4-1 rout of Fiorentina.

Pellegrini struck in the impressive triumph.

Fonseca said, “He is a very intelligent player who looks for the right spaces, the right time to pass, and is so good at choosing the right option. It's impressive, especially for one so young."

Roma are now comfortably clear in fourth place and the coach added: “We have to be balanced in our evaluations. Just because we are in fourth place now, it doesn't mean we've achieved anything or that everything is sorted out. We aren't even halfway through the season."
