Mattia Destro's yellow card was a small price to pay for his emotional goal celebration as the AS Roma forward put a 10-month injury nightmare behind him on Sunday.
.
The Italy forward came off the bench in the second half against Fiorentina for his comeback match and, within eight minutes, scored to give Roma a 2-1 win and end their run of four successive draws.
.
It was all a bit too much for the 22-year-old, who was mobbed by his teammates and took off his shirt as he ran on to the running track to celebrate, earning a booking.
.
"I'd been out for so long that I couldn't stand it any more," he told Sky Sports Italia.
.
"The most important thing for me today was to get on the pitch. To score a goal was fantastic.
.
"This long absence made me suffer and it's great to have left this awful period behind me."
.
Destro, who has played for Italy at every age level and made four appearances at senior level, injured his left knee in a Coppa Italia match against Inter Milan last January.
That is superb coming from the player. AS Roma should be proud to have him in their squad.
