Roma striker Abraham happy to be on England scoresheet

Roma striker Tammy Abraham scored his first international goal for two years as England thrashed World Cup qualifying opponents Andorra 5-0.

Former Chelsea striker Abraham, devastated to miss out on the summer's European Championship finals, is desperate to stay at the forefront of the manager's World Cup planning.

"It was a good night for me and the boys," said Abraham. "We knew it was going to be tough but we had to stay focused. Luckily we got an early goal, and we knew we'd create chances and the things we did were positive.

Abraham was set up by Jadon Sancho for his goal and credited a half-time chat with Jadon Sancho, who crossed for him to score.

"Jadon told me at half-time that sometimes he's going to cut back on his right and try to find me in the middle of the goal and that I should be ready," he said.
