Match Events
33'GOAL! Atalanta 1-0 Milan (Freuler)
Gasperini's troops keep the ball for over a minute and pass their way around the park. They eventually get into the box and Illciccuts the ball back looking for a team-mate. Two or three Atalanta players make their way into the box and it is Freuler that fires towards goal. His right-footed shot is saved by Donnarumma.
46'GOAL! Atalanta 1-1 Milan (Piatek)
Sublime. Simply sublime from Piatek with what looks like the last kick of the first half. Milan looked destined to share the lead at the break, but Rodriguez decided to carry the ball over halfway. Piatek demanded the ball and it came from the left wing and he has somehow managed to volley over his shoulder and into the far corner.
55'GOAL! Atalanta 1-2 Milan (Calhanoglu)
Calhanoglu sends the away fans wild with a stunning effort from the edge of the box. Atalanta defender Hateboerproduced a poor clearance and Calhanoglu reacted quickest so that he could have a shot. He took one touch out of his feet before smashing the ball past Berisha.
61'GOAL! Atalanta 1-3 Milan (Piatek)
A bullet header from Piatek puts Milan two up in this Serie A clash. He grabs his second of the night after timing his run to perfection from a corner. When Calhanoglu's cross was played in, he was behind the penalty spot, but the striker gets to the near post and beats Berisha with ease.

Match Report
On target in each of his previous three appearances, Poland international Piatek struck either side of half-time to help secure a come-from-behind victory that moved Milan four points clear of the hosts, who slipped down to seventh.
His first cancelled out Remo Freuler's 33rd-minute opener before Hakan Calhanoglu completed the quickfire turnaround with a thunderous drive 10 minutes after the interval.
