Before tonight, Azmoun only featured in 58 minutes of top-flight action this season, finding his first-team opportunities at Roma at a premium.<\/p>\n<p>He came close to scoring his first Roma goal against Monza. However, the post deflected what would\u2019ve been a late winner before Stephan El Shaarawy netted a winning strike in stoppages. But there was no denying this evening as Azmoun found a way past in-form Lecce goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone before Romelu Lukaku completed the comeback.<\/p>\n<p>Thrilled with his maiden league goal for Roma, Azmoun dedicated his breakthrough to his family and opened up on his emotions after leaving his mark at the Stadio Olimpico.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnbelievably beautiful, I\u2019ve been waiting for this moment. I worked so hard.
