It was a goal for grandma.
Roma forward Alessandro Florenzi celebrated his opening goal of the season Sunday against Cagliari by climbing over a barrier into the stands to embrace his 82-year-old grandmother.
The goal gave Roma a 2-0 lead although the celebration earned Florenzi a yellow card from the referee.

But Florenzi didn't seem to care.
He told Sky TV at halftime, ''It's not every day that an 82-year-old gets to the stadium. ... This goal is for her.''
