‘Hard work always pays off’ – Roma players’ online reactions after 7-0 thrashing of Empoli 

Roma players have been busy on social media posting their reactions to Sunday evening’s 7-0 demolition of struggling Empoli at the Stadio Olimpico. 

It took the Giallorossi all of two minutes to open the scoring on Sunday night thanks to a Paulo Dybala penalty. The Argentine would later go on to double his tally 10 minutes into the second half. 

La Joya later posted on instagram: “Hard work always pays off. Happy with the brace but even happier with the three points! Focus on the next one, daje.” 

Also on the scoresheet was Paris Saint-Germain loanee Renato Sanches, who took just eight minutes to bag his first competitive Roma goal. The Portuguese international told his followers that it was an: “amazing victory, daje Roma.” 

The Giallorossi also slammed in three goals in seven minutes in the latter stages of the game, with italy internationals Bryan Cristante and Gianluca Mancini grabbing their first strikes of the Serie A season, separated by a Romelu Lukaku goal on 82 minutes. 

Cristante celebrated with a post reading: “Yep that’s how it goes,” with Mancini adding: “Here we go again! United, all together, we are Roma.” 

Up next for Jose Mourinho and his team is a visit to Tiraspol to play FC Sherif in their Europa League Group Stage opener on Thursday night.
