BERGAMO, Italy :A second-half goal by substitute Ibrahim Sulemana earned Atalanta a 2-1 home win over AS Roma in Serie A on Monday, securing Champions League qualification for Gian Piero Gasperini's side.

Ademola Lookman put Atalanta in front after nine minutes before midfielder Bryan Cristante levelled for the visitors after the half-hour mark with a flicked header.

Sulemana restored the lead for Atalanta in the 76th minute, scoring with a low strike from just outside the area.

Atalanta, who fell behind in the title race, sit third in the standings on 71 points and have a seven-point cushion over fourth-placed Juventus and Lazio in fifth with two games left to play. Roma are sixth with 63 points.
