Alessandro Florenzi and Edin Dzeko scored late as Roma beat Juventus 2-0 to keep their hopes of Champions League football next season alive on Sunday.

Dzeko set up Florenzi for the first after 79 minutes in the Stadio Olimpico with the Bosnian then slotting in the second two minutes into injury time as Juventus fell to just their third defeat this season.

The defeat came on the day that Juventus displayed their new strip which no longer features the club's iconic black and white stripes in a breakaway from over a century of tradition.

Playing in their new jersies, Juventus with nothing left to play for, and with growing speculation over Allegri's future, failed to take advantage of their first half domination.

Mirante pulled off towering saves, denying Juan Cuadrado and Paulo Dybala.

After the break Cristiano Ronaldo had the ball in the back of the net after 64 minutes but was ruled offside.

But Roma captain Florenzi, perhaps annoyed by Ronaldo who had just made fun of his size, turned things around when he picked up a Dzeko cross to break the deadlock.

Dzeko added the second in injury time as Roma join AC Milan on 62 points, with Torino, now two points behind, dropping out of the European places into seventh.

Juventus and Napoli have already booked their berths in next season's elite European berths with two places remaining.
