Jose Leonardo Talamonti scored the only goal of the game to end Atalanta's four-game winless run at Lazio today.
The former Lazio defender broke the deadlock in the twenty-fourth minute to hand his team all three points at the Stadio Olimpico.
Atalanta had fallen off the pace in the top half of Serie A following their recent poor form that had seen them take two points of a possible twelve.
The outcome allowed Atalanta to climb to eleventh in the standings while it leaves Lazio five points behind Roma, who hold the last European qualifying spot.
