Stephan El Shaarawy reminded doubters of his quality Thursday.
The 23-year-old has struggled to earn regular starts this season after sealing a permanent transfer to Roma in the summer.
But he showed his trademark speed as he scored twice against Austria Vienna in the Europa League. He timed a perfect chip over goalkeeper Robert Almer to erase a 1-0 deficit early in the first half, and ran onto a fantastic Francesco Totti pass minutes later to curl in a second.
