| Lorenzo Pellegrini of AS Roma celebrates with team mates after scoring a second half penalty to give the side a 3-0 lead during the Serie A match between Torino FC and AS Roma at Stadio Olimpico di Torino on May 20, 2022 in Turin, Italy. |
Tammy Abraham has scored twice to help Roma win at Torino 3-0 and seal a spot in Europe for next season.
The win is a useful boost ahead of Roma's Europa Conference League final against Feyenoord next week.
Both Abraham goals came in the first half of Roma's final Serie A match on Friday. The England international took his tally to 26 goals in all competitions, 17 in Serie A, in a fantastic first season at the Italian club.
Lorenzo Pellegrini converted a second penalty for Roma 12 minutes from time.
It was Roma's first Serie A win in more than a month and ensured Jose Mourinho's team finished at least sixth.
Both Abraham goals came following huge mistakes in the Torino defence.
For the opener in the 33rd minute, the home side gave the ball away in its own half and Pellegrini found Abraham, who turned Torino defender David Zima inside out before riding a tackle and firing into the bottom right corner.
Roma doubled their lead when Torino defender Ricardo Ivan Rodriguez played a horrible back pass and, in Etrit Berisha's attempt to get to it, the goalkeeper tripped Abraham.
Abraham struck the resulting penalty coolly down the middle three minutes before half-time.
When substitute Nicolo Zaniolo was barged over by Alessandro Buongiorno in the second half, Pellegrini converted into the bottom left corner.
