Tammy Abraham grabbed the winner as AS Roma booked a place in the inaugural final of the UEFA Conference League with a 1-0 victory over Leicester City.
Match Report

The rejected stone has now become a Cornerstone. What a game, what a heroic performance from Tammy Abraham. A great miss from Chelsea

Pep Guardiola should learn from Mourinho how to read a game and how to protect a lead and not always 4.3.3 in every game

Am still wondering where these enormous people emerged from praising Mourinho. I think the few of us that has always been on Mourinho'a side my and defense are the ones expecting to sing praise his name for this feat he just achieved. He remains my best coach either sentiment or not

I thought they said Jose Mourinho is finished? Look at him on top of the ladder while his haters are swallowing their teeth. For me, I have 2 football clubs (1) Jose Mourinho (2) Christiano Ronaldo.

Like it or not, there is not way Mourinho could have bottled that lead Pep had yesterday. Call it park bus, park trailer, park train, park cruise ship, he would have hold on to it, to the end......

Jose Mourinho, the history maker. The only manager to reach the final of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League. He's a game away from winning all three UEFA Inter-Club Competitions.
