Chelsea star Reece James paid tribute to former teammate Tammy Abraham.

The latter scored a terrific brace in the Roman derby, when Roma took on Lazio at the weekend.

Abraham has been a success since his move to Serie A, netting 15 goals in 29 appearances for Jose Mourinho's team.

James went onto social media to lavish praise on Abraham, complementing the fellow Chelsea academy graduate.

He stated that fans should “pay some respect please" and that “numbers don't lie" while positing a photo of Abraham celebrating.

Reece James:

"Numbers don't lie. Pay some respect please."
