Gianluca Scamacca and Ademola Lookman scored first-half goals for Atalanta and Mario Pasalic added a penalty after the break as the Bergamo side moved up to fourth place on Sunday, one point ahead of Bologna.
Lookman was coming off a hat-trick in Atalanta’s 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final on Wednesday, and the Europa League trophy was on the sideline before kickoff.
Sixth-place Roma, who later lost 2-1 at Empoli, needed Atalanta to finish fifth to qualify for the Champions League.
It’s the final round of the Italian league but Atalanta still have a game to make up against Fiorentina next Sunday.
Scamacca scored first after being set up by Charles De Ketelaere then Lookman tapped in a rebound of a shot from Pasalic following another set-up from De Ketelaere. Midway through the second half, Lookman was fouled to provide the penalty for Pasalic.
Afterward, Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini announced that he plans to stay with the club - ending speculation that he might head to Napoli.
“I am tied to Atalanta and will continue to be,” Gasperini said. “I am faithful.”
Torino are ninth and can still qualify for the Europa Conference League if Fiorentina win it themselves on Thursday morning (AEST).
