Abraham pleased to continue unbeaten start


Tammy Abraham was back on the scoresheet as Roma drew 1-1 with Juventus on Saturday night.

The England international equalised in Turin midway through the second half, as the Giallorossi continued their unbeaten start to the Serie A season - despite a somewhat uneven first half performance.

“We’re satisfied. It was a tough game,” Abraham said afterwards.

“We are happy with the draw because we had to fight all game. Give credit to Juve because they are a good team. I think in the first half we weren’t up to our game, but in the second half we were better.”

He added: “We’re getting better. We have brought in new players and they are still learning how we play and we are still learning about them.

"So we are happy we haven’t lost yet, two wins and a draw, so we have to continue like this.”

After failing to score in the opening two games of the campaign, Abraham was asked if it was a relief for him to finally put his name back on the scoresheet.

“I never stress, I am always relaxed," he said.

"I know my ability, everyone knows my ability, and I knew it was only a matter of time before I put the ball in the back of the net.

"I am happy it could be today and long may it continue.”

The assist for the goal came from Paulo Dybala, who was playing back at his old club for the first time since leaving in the summer.

“I am going to go in the changing room and give him a hug," Abraham said of his Argentine teammate.

"It’s difficult for him, coming back to his old team and his old stadium.

"I am sure it’s emotional for him, especially getting an assist – but luckily that assist was for me!”
