Tammy Abraham snatched a potentially crucial point in the battle to reach the Champions League with his first goal in a year which earned Roma a 2-2 draw at Napoli.

England international Abraham, who had last scored on April 29 last year, missed almost the whole of this season after tearing knee ligaments at the end of the last campaign.

But the substitute striker was on hand in the 88th minute to nod home a perfect flick-on at a corner from Evan Ndicka, who started in defence after being cleared to play following his on-pitch collapse at Udinese earlier this month.

"I told myself for the corner just get myself in the right place and luckily I was there to score," Abraham told 'DAZN'. "I've dreamed about this moment since the beginning of the season. I had a difficult injury and it was all about getting myself ready, my mind ready."
