Both sides showed plenty of intent from the start, and a blistering Atalanta break culminated in Ademola Lookman’s shot being blocked by Khéphren Thuram, who then fired over at the other end following some lovely link-up play.
Match Report
The result also saw Atalanta win an away game against Juventus by at least two goals for the first time in their Serie A history, in what was a stunning display.
Mateo Retegui's penalty put the visitors ahead in the 26th minute, with the spot-kick awarded after Weston McKennie had handled the ball inside the area.
It took the visitors 50 seconds to double their lead in the second half as Ademola Lookman's shot was parried into the path of Marten de Roon, who fired the ball home.
Atalanta put the result beyond doubt with a real moment of quality, with a fine free-flowing move seeing Davide Zappacosta find the back of the net after collecting Sead Kolasinac's neat backheel in the box.
Lookman concluded the scoring in the 77th minute, with his strike deflecting off Lloyd Kelly and past the outstretched arm of Michele Di Gregorio, moving Atalanta to within three points of leaders Inter.
Atalanta are now just three points adrift of leaders Inter, while Juventus stay fourth, but now six points behind Gian Piero Gasperini's side.
Data Debrief: Solid at the back, but ruthless in attack
Having seen their Scudetto hopes fade after a poor run of results, Atalanta may be clinging onto faint hopes of lifting the title this season after an impressive display.
And their performance was built on being solid at the back, yet ruthless in the attack. With Retegui and Lookman, they have two excellent strikers, who contributed an expected goals (xG) tally of 2.36 to Atalanta's 3.75 total.
Indeed, 14 of the 22 goals scored in this league by Retegui have come in away matches. From 1929-30, Ciro Immobile is the only Italian player to score more goals on the road in a single Serie A season, having done so on three occasions (16 in 2017-18, 17 in 2019-20 and 15 in 2021-22).
Atalanta also scored at least four goals in a single match against Juventus for the first time in their history in Serie A.
But they have now kept a clean sheet in at least five consecutive Serie A matches for the fourth time in their history in the top flight, following six between December 1996 and January 1997, five between October and November 1985, and five between January and February 1967.
