A double from English striker Tammy Abraham helped AS Roma earn the derby spoils with an emphatic 3-0 win over Lazio in Serie A on Sunday.
It took Abraham less than a minute to get on the scoresheet from close range from a corner in the Stadio Olimpico, with the marking from Lazio leaving much to be desired.
The former Chelsea forward then bravely got on the end of a Rick Karsdorp cross to double Roma's lead in the 22nd minute, taking his Serie A tally to 15 for the season.
Abraham has now scored 23 goals in all competitions this term - the most for a debut campaign for Roma, two ahead of Argentine great Gabriel Batistuta's first year in the capital.
Goal of the match, however, went to Lorenzo Pellegrini, who curled a stunning free kick into the net five minutes before the break to effectively end the derby as a contest.
Lazio could not rouse a response in the second half, as Roma climbed above their city rivals into fifth in the Serie A standings on 51 points, eight points behind Juventus in fourth.

The ROMAN empire is expanding.Tammy Abraham,a product of Abramovich's famed Cobham youth academy,is setting Rome on fire.He is being referred to as the "Gladiator".I hope he continues reminding the whole world in whose academy he honed his skills.🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺

Today Roma played incredibly well. If they keep playing like this, they have a good chance for a place in Europe next year
