JAKARTA - Tammy Abraham brought AS Roma back to winning ways. His only goal brought the Giallorossi to beat Udinese 1-0 in the fifth week of the Italian League at the Stadio Olimpico, Thursday local time.

Reporting Antara, Friday, Abraham scored his goal in the 36th minute with a right-footed flick from close range to complete Riccardo Calafiori's cross.

Roma should have taken the lead sooner had Nicolo Zaniolo's header not hit the post when the game was only eight minutes old.

Apart from Abraham's goal and Zaniolo's header being denied by the post, Jose Mourinho's side's finishing in the final third was less than stellar as they found the target only twice in 12 attempts throughout the game.

However, their work at the back was quite disciplined, including the success of goalkeeper Rui Patricio to deny Gerard Deulofeu's narrow angle shot in the 73rd minute.

Patricio also made another crucial save in the first minute of injury time when anticipating Deulofeu's long-range shot which shot sharply and brushed it over the crossbar to seal Roma's victory.

Unfortunately, Roma's victory was marked by the expulsion of attacking midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini who had to receive a second yellow card a minute before dispersal.

Roma is again in fourth place in the standings with 12 points, after being overtaken by Atalanta (10) two days ago.

Meanwhile, Udinese, who failed to add seven points, dropped to 10th position, being evicted by Torino, according to the Italian League's official website.

In the next match on Sunday, Roma will play Derbi della Capitale against Lazio as an away team while Udinese host Fiorentina in Friuli.
