Roma are making light work of their Europa Conference League group, sweeping Ukrainians Zoyra Luhansk aside with a 3-0 victory on Thursday.

Jose Mourinho's side began life in the European third tier with a thumping 5-1 victory over CSKA Sofia, and cruised two points clear in Group C.

Stephan El Shaarawy opened the scoring in the seventh minute, rounding the keeper for an open-goal tap in.

Mourinho's men didn't go clear until Mourinho called on some substitutes, including Tammy Abraham, and bagged two goals in two minutes. First Chris Smalling headed in from a corner, before Riccardo Calafiori's super work on the right setup Abraham's tap-in.
