The midfielder's goal continued Roma's perfect start to their Serie A season with a a 2-0 win on Sunday.
Rudi Garcia's men have won all three of their league games so far without conceding and also claimed a 5-1 win over CSKA Moscow in the Champions League in midweek.
They were not quite as devastating against Cagliari, but two goals in three minutes from Mattia Destro and Florenzi were enough to keep them among the early pacesetters.
