Roma's Alessandro Florenzi celebrates goal by hugging his grandmother

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.

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