Sardar Azmoun Scores First Goal for AS Roma
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Sardar Azmoun proved crucial to AS Roma’s comeback win over Lecce by scoring his first goal for Jose Mourinho’s side.
Stoppage-time goals by Azmoun and Romelu Lukaku earned AS Roma a dramatic 2-1 home win against Lecce in Serie A Sunday night, its fourth victory from five league games to cut the gap to the top four to four points.
In his post-match interview with DAZN, Azmoun didn’t hide his emotions.
“We knew it was going to be difficult today, but we were focused until the end so as not to lose. We showed character, it’s the right reward for our hard work.”
“Scoring my first goal was an incredible moment. I’ve been waiting for this moment. I worked a lot to be ready tonight. I love this team and this city. My daughter was born here.”
