SERIE A - Atalanta retain top-four spot after win ver Spezia

Published on: 20 November 2021

With a 5-2 victory over Spezia on Saturday, Atalanta ensured their place in the Serie A top four.

After a dominant effort in Bergamo, Gian Piero Gasperini's team are level on 25 points with Inter Milan, who are in third place and host league leaders Napoli on Sunday evening.

After M'Bala Nzola had opened the scoring for the away side, Atalanta took a comfortable first-half lead thanks to Mario Pasalic's brace and Duvan Zapata's penalties, which the Colombian forward netted at the second try after Spezia defenders encroached during the initial saved spot-kick.

Late goals from Luis Muriel and Ruslan Malinovskyi sealed the victory and kept Atalanta in the Champions League places, providing a good warm-up for Tuesday's trip to Young Boys.

The victory widens the margin between Atalanta and fifth-placed Lazio to four points, with Lazio hosting Juventus in an early evening fixture on Saturday.
