Tammy Abraham scored a last-gasp winner to help Jose Mourinho’s Roma make it through to the Europa Conference League quarter-finals in a dramatic finale on Thursday night. 

The former Chelsea striker, on the same day he was called up to the England squad, netted in the 90th minute to make it 1-1 on the night against Vitesse Arnhem and 2-1 on aggregate to the Italian side.

It was Roma’s only shot on target in the whole match, but it was a decisive one as Mourinho’s men progress to the last eight of the competition, along with seven other sides – one of which was Leicester after they edged past Rennes 3-2 on aggregate.
