Tammy Abraham Denies Roma Victory Despite Late Goal in Dramatic Ending Against Milan

• AS Roma and AC Milan shared the points in a tense game at the Stadio Olimpico
• Tammy Abraham gave Roma the lead in the 94th minute but Alexis Saelemaekers equalised for Milan
• Abraham had earlier blocked captain Lorenzo Pellegrini's goalbound shot

AS Roma would have themselves to blame after a lapse in concentration means they throw away a late lead against Milan with few seconds to go in the game.

Tammy Abraham put Giallorossi ahead in the 94th minute, only for Roma to lose concentration and allow Milan to equalise through Alexis Saelemaekers in the 96th minute.

The result throws open the top-four race in the Italian Serie A, which involves six teams, including Atalanta, who beat Roma last week.

Abraham block Pellegrini's goal

Tammy Abraham may have nearly given Roma all three points, but in the end, he is responsible for Giallorossi not picking up the three points with an accidental action in the first half.

The former Chelsea striker blocked captain Lorenzo Pellegrini's goalbound shot in the 34th minute of the first half, as reported by Football Italia. This goal would have surely won it for Jose Mourinho's side.

Roma suffer two injuries

Roma came into the game short of options with Paulo Dybala, Chris Smalling, Diego Llorente, and Georgino Wijnaldum, amongst others, out injured.

According to Roma Press, it took only 15 minutes for Marash Kumbulla to join the growing injury list before summer signing Andrea Belotti was also forced off injured. Bryan Cristante moved to central defence, and Edoardo Bove slotted in midfield.

Jose Mourinho's reaction

Jose Mourinho had mixed emotions after the game, certainly impressed by the shift the team put in at a difficult time, but sadly they lost two key points with seconds to go.

“From the point of view of our performance, the result is unfair. Only we can play a match against Milan in this way with all the difficulties we have,” he said after the game.

“I’m more proud than sad tonight. I’m still sad because the three points seemed very close. Overall, I’m a very proud manager tonight. We dropped two key points tonight,” he concluded.
