Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini was delighted after their 2-1 win against Cagliari.

Pellegrini struck the winner for Roma from a free-kick.

“We put some more intensity into the game after the break," Pellegrini told DAZN.

“I cannot say the real quality of this group, time will tell on that. I can say this is a family more than a team and we saw that tonight.

“This was a response to all the ugly things that were said over the past week, we rolled our sleeves up, put in a great performance against Napoli and then got the three points today.

“Everyone keeps telling me I can't take free kicks, so I continue to practice and practice, this is the result. That's what we are all doing, working hard in training to improve ourselves."
