THREE DAYS AFTER scoring an outrageous volley in Roma’s victory over Bologna, Stephan El Shaarawy was at it again tonight in the Champions League.
Just 38 seconds into the Group C clash against Chelsea, El Shaarawy was quickest to the loose ball and fired home from the edge of the area with a sweet strike to hand Roma the best possible start.
The 25-year-old’s first goal of the group stages is Roma’s fastest-ever in the Champions League.
It set the Serie A club on the way to a big win over the Premier League champions, with El Shaarawy adding a second just before half-time and Diego Perotti sealing the points after the hour mark.
