Atalanta cruises past Juventus to stay alive in title hunt

Four unanswered goals condemned The Bianconeri to a first home loss in Serie A.

Atalanta continues to dream of the Serie A title. The Bergamaschi taught Juventus a lesson at their own home and defeated them 4:0, inflicting the "Old Lady"'s first defeat at the Allianz Stadium since the start of the season.

In a match from the 28th round of the championship, Calcio's top scorer Matteo Retegi opened the scoring from the penalty spot after about half an hour of play. At the very beginning of the second half, Martin de Roon made it 2:0, before Davide Zappacosta and Ademola Lookman finished the dejected hosts.

Thus, Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta continues to pressure Napoli and Inter, being two points behind the Neapolitans and three behind the champions. Juventus is now nine points behind first place and has small chances for the Scudetto. In the next round, the Bianconeri visit Fiorentina, while the Bergamo team hosts Inter in a key clash at the top.

In another match, Roma moved closer to the top 6 after a narrow 1:0 win over Empoli. The goal for Claudio Ranieri's team was scored by Matias Soule in the first minute. | BGNES
