Roma win confidently against Slavia Praha on their third Europa League match outing of the season.

Mourinho’s men beat the Czech side with a quick one-two punch with Edoardo Bove or Romelu Lukaku.

“It was a perfect evening,” Stephan El Shaarawy told Sky Sport after the game. “We had a perfect approach tonight.”

“We managed the whole match well, it was a victory we wanted to be first in the group.”

“Lukaku? He is a great striker. A player who supports you and scores goals. It’s nice to play with great attackers, we got along well. Not only with him but with the whole team we created a lot, we could have closed it out in the first half and we could have scored a few more goals. But I’m happy with the performance.”

“In difficult moments we manage to be a team, we don’t give up, we don’t get lost and we come together again. We try to analyze what our mistakes are and not repeat them. Our strength has always been the group. In recent weeks we have analyzed well and worked well. Now there is still a lot to do.”
