Serie A | Juventus 2-0 Atalanta: Old Lady revitalised, but third Dea defeat

Serie A | Juventus 2-0 Atalanta: Old Lady revitalised, but third Dea defeat Juventus took their chances with Francisco Conceicao and Gleison Bremer, dooming Maurizio Sarri’s Atalanta to a third consecutive defeat. The Bianconeri got back on track with Thursday’s 5-0 Europa League victory over NEC , but scraped one point from the last two Serie A games, so the pressure was already on. Kamil Grabara added to the injury crisis with Kenan Yildiz, Manuel Locatelli, Khephren Thuram, Jeremie Boga, Andrea Cambiaso, Jeff Ekhator and Juan Cabal. Hosting Maurizio Sarri , Luciano Spalletti switched to a 4-2-3-1 formation. La Dea were coming off back-to-back defeats against Roma and Cagliari, with Odilon Kossounou, Isak Hien and Kamaldeen Sulemana sidelined, but Gianluca Gaetano was back from suspension. Franck Kessie had been in advanced talks with Juve before signing for Atalanta. See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.
