In what may be the most Italian celebration you'll ever see, Roma attacking midfielder Alessandro Florenzi produced a heartwarming gesture after giving his side a 2-0 lead in their match against Cagliari on Sunday.

Upon slotting the ball past 'keeper Alessio Cragno in the 13th minute, Florenzi headed for the tribunes, where his grandmother was in attendance, cheering on her grandson like any good nonna does, and proceeded to give her a hug and a kiss.

Because the world is a cold place, Florenzi subsequently received a yellow card for his celebration.
