Roma coach De Rossi: Svilar a fantastic boy

Roma coach Daniele de Rossi was delighted for Mile Svilar after their draw with Fiorentina.

Trailing 2-1, Svilar saved a penalty from Cristiano Biraghi before Roma equalised in injury-time.

De Rossi later said: "Mile is a fantastic boy. He is working well, supported by the staff, the goalkeeping coach and Rui (Patricio). He saved a fairly generous penalty, if we have to talk about choices.

"It was decisive."

But De Rossi added, "If we think we can go into Brighton like we did tonight, it will be a bad evening."
