Roma edged ahead in Serie A’s tight race for Champions League qualification as a 3-0 home win over Cagliari on Saturday sent Claudio Ranieri’s side into fourth place.
Federico Fazio and Javier Pastore scored inside the opening eight minutes before Aleksandar Kolarov added a third late on as the visitors offered little resistance.
The victory means Roma now have 58 points, two ahead of AC Milan and Atalanta on 56.
However, both those sides can restore a one-point lead over the capital club by beating Torino and Udinese respectively in their league fixtures over the next two days.
