Roma striker Romelu Lukaku was delighted scoring in their 2-0 win against Frosinone.

Lukaku says he's happy playing for Roma coach Jose Mourinho.

He said: "In these last few days we talked to each other, we said to each other that it was really important for us tonight. We played a good game, putting everything into it, with two goals scored and none conceded. Let's carry on like this.

"We have an important relationship with the coach, he knows me very well. I have to make myself available to Roma and do the best I can, my teammates are helping me and I have to thank them. The team is the most important thing, the ranking is difficult, we have to improve .

"I'm focused on doing the right thing. This has always been my game, little by little there is a better connection between me and my teammates and I hope this will help the team."

On his partnership with Paulo Dybala, he added: "I've had good relationships with every teammate I've had in attack. For me it's important to know their qualities, Paulo has a lot of them, we'll do the best for Roma."
