Tammy Abraham has now scored more goals than other Chelsea striker has managed across all competitions in a single season since Didier Drogba in 2010, handing the west London side a valuable lesson. The 24-year-old guided Jose Mourinho's side to a three-goal demolition of Lazio, clawing Giallorossi back into the race for Champions League football.
The Cobham graduate's double in Derby della Capitale smashed Gabriel Batistuta's record, scoring more goals in a debut season with Roma than any other player in the club's history. Mourinho's number nine is now just two goals behind Dusan Vlahovic's total this campaign, questioning the plausibility of the England international's sale in the summer.
Abraham found the net against Maurizio Sarri's side in the opening seconds before doubling his tally midway through the first-half. Lorenzo Pellegrini grabbed the third of the evening with a mouth-watering free-kick, nudging Roma closer to Juventus who are eight points adrift in the Serie A.
