Tammy Abraham's first-half goal was enough to give AS Roma a 1-0 win over Atalanta, denying Gian Piero Gasperini's side the chance to jump into Serie A's top four. In the 32nd minute, Abraham easily tucked home his 13th Serie A goal of the season. Roma had the best of the opening exchanges, with Gianluca Mancini headed against the crossbar early on.
As coach Jose Mourinho sat the final game of his two-match touchline ban, the visitors never looked like getting back into the game, with Roma hanging on for their second consecutive 1-0 triumph, this time thanks to an Abraham goal. Marten de Roon was sent off in stoppage time after earning two cautions in quick succession for a vehement protest against a Roma free-kick. Henrikh Mkhitaryan was then sent off for Roma, but the game had already been won.
