Jose Mourinho's first game in charge of Roma ended in victory as goals from Lorenzo Pellegrini and Eldor Shomurodov saw them beat Trabzonspor in the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan had a goal disallowed on 25 minutes for handball, but the former Arsenal and Manchester United star set up Italy midfielder Pellegrini to volley home and net the first goal of the Mourinho tenure.
Former Napoli star Marek Hamsik tested new Roma signing Rui Patricio from distance but the Turkish side rang the changes in the second half, which saw Andreas Cornelius equalise with his first touch.
