Abraham joined Jose Mourinho’s side in a £40m from Chelsea and has been the club’s player of the season so far.
Only Batistuta and Vincenzo Montella had scored as many goals as Abraham [21] in their debut seasons at the club but the former Aston Villa hitman surpassed both players with a brace in the first half against Lazio.
It took Abraham’s tally for the season to 23 and put him firmly in the record books at Roma.
Lorenzo Pellegrini scored a stunning long-range free-kick after Abraham’s double to give Roma a commanding 3-0 lead at half-time.
Mourinho’s side are in dire need of the three points, which would take them above their city rivals and into 5th.
Roma would be 8 points adrift of Juventus, who currently occupy the final Champions League slot in 4th.
