Alessandro Florenzi has been asked to do a variety of things during his time at Roma, with the versatile Italian featuring as a full-back, midfielder, and winger this season.
Sunday against Udinese, his role was far simpler: match-winner.
The 25-year-old showcased his attacking talents at the Stadio Friuli, bamboozling a defender with a deft touch before nicking the ball beyond the goalkeeper to score what would hold up as the winning goal in his side's important 2-1 victory.
The win sees Roma strengthen its grip on the third and final Champions League berth in Serie A, as the capital-based club now sits five points ahead of both Fiorentina and Inter.
