Favorite Spalletti era goals

Feeling a bit sentimental, in no particular order:

Sampdoria - AS Roma (Francesco Totti)

On an assist from Cassetti, my how things have changed.

Lyon - AS Roma (Mancini)

The goal that made (and destroyed) Amantino Mancini.

Dynamo Kiev - AS Roma (Perrotta)

One of my absolute favorite goals. This is the definition of the Spalletti era, taking mediocre players like Perrotta and Tonetto and having them move in unison and complete syncronisation. Simply fantastic.

AS Roma - Sporting Lisbon (Vucinic)

Totti went out injured, and everything look lost until Mirko took the game by the balls and gave it a good squeeze. After this my love for Mirko became complete.

I wanted to put Aquilani's derby goal for the record victories in there, but I couldn't find it. Also Mirko's diving header against AC Milan which made me go crazy.

Excellent choices. Have to add these two goals from the beast.

I forgot how beautiful that Mancini goal vs Lyon - simply an unbelievable piece of individual skill. I only wish we had sold him after that as his stock could not have gone any higher.

I remember the Vucinic goal against Sporting Lisbon as if I just happened this weekend. Another brilliant piece of individual skill. Mirko's goal against Chelsea when he stole the ball from Jon Obi Mikel (sp?) and ran 70 yards with a spectacular finish is also a highlight for me.
