– Tammy Abraham bagged a brace and Borja Mayoral scored with a wonderful back-heel flick, as Roma top their Conference League group thanks to Bodo/Glimt’s draw with Zorya.

– The Giallorossi knew even a win might not be enough to avoid the play-offs, as Bodo/Glimt were one point clear and with a superior head-to-head record. Stephan El Shaarawy was injured, with Rui Patricio, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Chris Smalling left at home.

– The deadlock was broken when Rick Karsdorp broke down the right and rolled it across the face of goal for Tammy Abraham to tap in from six yards.
