Roma coach Claudio Ranieri paid tribute to his players after they beat Udinese 4-2 and then refused to talk about any title hopes.

"As I said before there are two more games left until the end of our tour de force," Ranieri declared to SkySport.

"Let's wait and see. Now we travel to Bologna midweek and then we have an interesting head to head against Inter Milan.

"What is important right now is that we maintain the right level of concentration and desire.

"Tonight we showed this against Udinese, and I was always confident that players such as [Jeremy] Menez could step in and push us forward despite the absence of a number of key players," he concluded.
