Video: Malen scores delightful first Roma goal at the Olimpico
Watch as former Aston Villa striker Donyell Malen scores his first Roma goal at the Stadio Olimpico with a delicate chipped finish from a tight angle against Cagliari.
You can follow the action as it happens from that Serie A match on the Liveblog.
The centre-forward has really flourished since his January transfer to Italy, on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.
He broke the deadlock this evening in the Eternal City when running onto a Gianluca Mancini pass and dinking the finish over on-rushing goalkeeper Elia Caprile from the tightest of angles.
The Dutchman had also scored on his Roma debut, a 2-0 result away to Torino on January 18, but this was his first goal at the Stadio Olimpico.
