Roma striker Dzeko: We must forget about Napoli thumping

Roma striker Edin Dzeko admits they weren't good enough for their 4-0 defeat at Napoli.

Roma were blown away on an emotional night in Naples with the city still in mourning after the passing of Diego Maradona.

“It certainly wasn't our night," Dzeko told Sky Sport Italia. “We did badly, we know that, and have to forget about this evening as soon as we can.

“We'd done pretty well this season, except for Verona, and we expected more, but we just weren't our usual selves. You could tell from the sheer number of misplaced passes and errors.

“Now we've got to wake up as soon as possible. There's a game every three to four days, we have to get back to our old selves straight away."
