Pellegrini, Soulé put on show in Everton 1-1 draw

Andy Mattioli

Roma officially end this year’s preseason with a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park with Everton.

Daniele De Rossi’s team concluded their preparations earlier this evening and will now fly back to Italy ahead of the start of the new Serie A season.

In tonight’s 1-1 result, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Matias Soulé stood out above all.

The Giallorossi captain, in fact, was among the best on the pitch after two dull tests with Olympiacos and Barnsley.

Tonight Pellegrini found second goal of the preseason: excellent insertion, perfect stop and conclusion with his right foot to beat Pickford.

After a season of ups and downs, Pellegrini aims to get back on top form ahead of the season opener with Cagliari.

Soulé once again proved crucial in the build-up for De Rossi’s team: it was the Argentine’s wonderful assist that opened the space for Pellegrini to cut inside and score the momentary lead goal.
