Roma coach Jose Mourinho was delighted with Tammy Abraham's debut for victory over Fiorentina.

Former Chelsea striker Abraham provided two assists on his debut, while Eldor Shomurodov came off the bench and immediately created a goal for Jordan Veretout.

Mourinho said after the 3-1 win: “It's not easy to leave someone on the bench, but Shomurodov can play on the left, he can be a forward with Tammy as well. At this moment, neither of them are in the same condition as the players who worked in pre-season training from the first day, so I figured to use Pellegrini behind.

“Shomu is very dangerous attacking the space, Tammy is more of a reference point, so even if he wasn't tired at that stage, I would've made the substitution a few minutes later anyway.

“We have many different solutions, but at this moment what I like is the spirit, the defensive organisation is getting there, but Fiorentina made it very, very difficult for us. Italiano deserves a lot of credit, because he has his team playing very, very well so early into the season.

“I really hope Fiorentina the best, as they will do well this season and cause a lot of problems for everyone."
