Zorya 0-3 Roma: Abraham and Smalling clinch the points


The Giallorossi made it two wins from two to start their Europa Conference League group stage campaign, as Stephan El Shaarawy scored the opener in an eventual 3-0 win.

El Shaarawy's smart finish came after just seven minutes, as Jose Mourinho's side never really struggled on their trip to Ukraine.

Zorya, cheered on by fans, were valiant in their attacking attempts at times, but were ultimately blown away in the second half as first Smalling, from a corner, and then Abraham, after a quick exchange with Nicolo Zaniolo, found the back of the net.

Mourinho's side have one more game before the next international break: they host Empoli in Serie A on Sunday evening.
