England international Abraham classily finished the 13th goal of his debut Serie A season as Jose Mourinho’s side closed in on fourth-placed Juventus before their match with Spezia on Sunday.
Roma are unbeaten in seven league matches and their win over Atalanta was characterised by a steeliness that had been missing earlier in the season.
"The fans have supported us today from the first whistle to the last. It's the best feeling this, when you do it all together as a team … the most important thing is the three points."

“A couple of months ago maybe we concede a goal in the last minute, but we win as a team and lose as a team and now we can enjoy it, go have a drink and celebrate with the fans,” Abraham said to DAZN.
The 24-year-old has scored seven times in all competitions since the turn of the year, taking his overall season’s tally to 20, and the way he took his winner highlighted the confidence with which he is playing.
