Italian footballer Nicolo Zaniolo has urged his mum to rein herself in on Instagram after she posted one too many sultry selfies.
Zaniolo gained plenty of attention on the field earlier this week when he scored both of Roma's goals in a 2-1 Champions League win over Porto.
But as the 19-year-old finds himself in the spotlight, he has urged his mum Francesca Costa to stay out of it.

Costa, who boats more than 212,000 followers on Instagram, incurred the wrath of her son after posting a string of sexy "duck face" selfies.
