Match Events

5' WHAT A SAVE from Handanovic

STUNNING DOUBLE SAVE! After a terrific Ilicic run, Zapata and De Roon each get a chance at goal, but Handanovic brilliantly saves both. The flag has gone up after the Dutchman's strike, so it will be a goal kick for Inter.

8'GOAL! Atalanta 1-0 Inter (Hateboer)

GOOALLLLL!!! Wingback to wingback as Gosens ran up the left flank and whipped a low cross all the way across the box which somehow found it's way over to Hateboer at the far post where he applied a right-footed finish! Atalanta 1-0 Inter!

21' Ilicic wastes a golden chance

HOW HAS HE MISSED THAT?! Zapata plays in a inch-perfect pass over to Ilicic who was unmarked at the back post... but he can't get his left foot on it and the Slovenian crashes into the post while the ball rolls behind for a goal kick.

34' CHANCE! Perisic's header over the bar

36' Zapata's shot hits the side-netting

D'Ambrosio gives the ball away cheaply to Zapata who surges forward into the box, outmuscles a defender, and shoots into the side netting with Ilicic wondering why the ball wasn't passed back to him.

47'Penalty Goal! Atalanta 1-1 Inter (Icardi)

GOOALLL!!! Icardi runs up to the ball and tucks it into the bottom-right corner of the goal from the penalty spot! Atalanta 1-1 Inter.

62'GOAL! Atalanta 2-1 Inter (Mancini)

GOALLLL!!!! After being outplayed since the break, Atalanta restore their lead! Ilicic curls in a fantastic ball from a free kick and Mancini spears it perfectly, powering it into the back of the net! Atalanta 2-1 Inter.

88'GOAL! Atalanta 3-1 Inter (Djimsiti)

GOOALLLL! It proves a very dangerous free kick indeed as Ilicic sent in the cross towards Djimsiti who rose above everyone and powered his header past Handanovic to seal the win for Atalanta! Atalanta 3-1 Inter.

90+2'RED CARD! Brozovic is sent off

RED CARD! Brozovic is sent off after blocking the run of Ilicic and, having already picked up a yellow, is shown his second. Surely the sign of frustration that.

90+4'GOAL! Atalanta 4-1 Inter (Gomez)

GOOOALLLL!!! ATALANTA HAVE SCORED AGAIN! Gomez, who had been a surprisingly quiet presence in today's match, drifted in from the left and curled in a perfect finish into the top-right corner to further punish Inter! Atalanta 4-1 Inter.

Match Report

Inter missed the chance to move within three points of Serie A leaders Juventus as they slipped to a shock 4-1 defeat at Atalanta.

The Nerazzurri held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw in the Champions League in midweek and their exertions in that game appeared to have an adverse effect on their performance in Bergamo.

Luciano Spalletti's side, who had won seven straight league fixtures, were on the backfoot from the off and were fortunate to only be 1-0 down at the interval as Atalanta spurned a host of chances following Hans Hateboer's eighth-minute opener.
