Roma v Sassuolo: VAR review finds no handball and no penalty by Van der Brempt

Rodrigo Mora produced a standout performance, finishing with a precise, low strike at the near post, aimed at the bottom-right corner past Muric. The goal came after he had been controlling the ball beautifully in tight spaces, as his teammates looked for him. Throughout the match, Mora was repeatedly seen cushioning passes into the path of teammates, either in support or in the final third, with a touch as light as a feather that always seemed to find the right spot. At times he attempted switches of play with a confidence that occasionally bordered on risky, but it came from a clear awareness of his technical ability. The style was described as delicious as well as effective. The writer compared Mora's game to a simple, well-made pasta dish with butter and parmesan, which turned into something richer when he finished with a fine white truffle touch with his goal. The piece praises the way his display has won over the supporters, leaving Roma fans with plenty to enjoy from the 20-year-old's contribution.

Rodrigo Mora has said he is delighted with his goal in Roma's match against Sassuolo, the eleventh round of Serie A, which marks his third goal in a row. He thanked Donyell Malen for the pass that set up the strike. Mora said he was not surprised by how strong Roma have looked this season. "When I arrived here I immediately saw that we were a very good team. In training I noticed how hard my teammates work." He added that football is unpredictable: "One day you don't play and the next day you do. You always have to be ready. This is my third goal in a row, and that is important. I always have to make sure I am ready." Asked about a notable hesitation he showed before shooting at goal, Mora thanked the studio journalists for their support. The interview was given to SkyCi.

Mario Hermoso spoke to Sky Sport after Roma beat Sassuolo, saying the team had to win and did so. He stressed that the character of a group shows after difficult evenings and that the team wants to stay near the top of the table. Hermoso said: "It is something the coach wants and the team wants too. When matches like these happen, modern football does not leave you time to think about it. The team wants to stay at the top, today we had to win and we did." He also spoke about Gasperini's approach and the attacking side of the game. Hermoso said: "Gasperini's football puts you in shape physically and on the pitch to find these situations. We have the quality to get there and to shoot on goal. Our forwards help us defend and we defenders want to help our forwards."
