Roma Turn on the Style to Mark Daniele De Rossi's 500th Appearance

Roma hosted Empoli on Saturday in a game that marked Daniele De Rossi's 500th game for the club.

It took until the 56th minute for the home side to break the deadlock, free-kick specialist Miralem Pjanic firing home a trademark strike.

Shortly after and it was time for the man of the moment to take centre stage, De Rossi heading home from a corner.

And Mohamed Salah looked to have made the game safe when he finished emphatically into the roof of the net after 69 minutes.
