– Roma wrapped up their first Serie A season under Jose Mourinho by confirming Europa League qualification with a 3-0 last-day win away at Torino on Friday night.
– Tammy Abraham was on song for the Giallorossi as he scored twice to close the curtain on a successful first year in Italian football, with Lorenzo Pellegrini scoring their third late on to be sure of the points at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
– Abraham opened the scoring with half an hour played and, in doing so, became the highest-scoring Englishman in a single Serie A season with his 16th of the campaign, with Pellegrini playing the role of provider and assisting the No.9.

– They were presented with a chance to get a third goal, again from the penalty spot, and Pellegrini made no mistake. It came as something of a surprise that Abraham didn’t look to net a hat-trick.
– Roma now end the season in sixth, behind Lazio above them in fifth. They now cannot be caught by neither Fiorentina nor Atalanta behind them.
