Roma striker Tammy Abraham was happy to prove the matchwinner against Spezia on Sunday.

Abraham converted a 99th minute penalty for the 1-0 win.

He later said: "It was a difficult match, but we are happy with the victory.

"We played well, as a team, the ball did not want to enter, we had many chances and in the end we had that penalty in the end.

"I excluded any noise, I focused and I shot. We played very well, as a team, we defended well, we conceded almost nothing and we had many chances. The ball didn't want to enter but in the end the important thing is to win.
