Roma's Alessandro Florenzi celebrates goal by hugging his grandmother
When Alessandro Florenzi scored in the 13th minute to put Roma up 2-0 against Cagliari, he did what every good grandson does and celebrated by jumping into the stands and hugging his nonna. It was both the 23-year-old midfielder's first goal of the season and Serie A's first grandma hug of the season.
As heart-warming as that moment was, the referee still showed him a yellow card for going into the stands. Florenzi later explained that the visit was a required part of his grandmother's attendance.
Florenzi on celebrating goal with his grandma: She told me: "I'm only coming to see you but only if you come over and say: 'Hi'."

Roma ended up winning 2-0 and they might have gained a new good luck charm in Florenzi's grandmother.
