AS Roma midfielder Leandro Paredes says victory over Sassuolo was for coach Jose Mourinho.

Roma fought back from 1-0 down to win 2-1.

Paredes said: "It seemed like we had the game in hand, the management of the game and the match, unfortunately we conceded that goal that we didn't expect. But we had a good reaction.

"Yes, we wanted to give our answer, not only for what the coach said but for ourselves, to try to win away from home. A victory awaited us after so many games without winning away from home.

"For us it is very important to continue like this, to continue improving and I think we still have a lot to improve. The most important thing is to win and today we did that."
