Atalanta humiliated Juventus in the head-to-head battle for third place, as Mateo Retegui, Marten de Roon, Davide Zappacosta and Ademola Lookman inflicted a 4-0 rout in Turin.

There were only three points separating these sides going in. Juve missed Francisco Conceicao, Douglas Luiz, Nicolò Savona, Jonas Rouhi, Arek Milik, Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal, while Kenan Yildiz, Pierre Kalulu and Renato Veiga were not at 100 per cent. La Dea were without Stefan Posch, Odilon Kossounou, Giorgio Scalvini and Gianluca Scamacca, but welcomed Daniel Maldini back to the bench after a dismal 0-0 draw with Venezia. This was a special night for Teun Koopmeiners and Juan Cuadrado against their former clubs, though only the Colombian started.

See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Khephren Thuram charged down the dangerous Ademola Lookman counter-attack, then threatened at the other end by firing just over from the edge of the area, while Davide Zappacosta scuffed wide from a promising position.

Lookman tested Michele Di Gregorio through a sea of legs, but the referee pointed to the spot when a free kick was not cleared properly, Ederson dinked it up and Berat Djimsiti nodded onto Wes McKennie’s outstretched arm. Having missed two big penalties already this season between Serie A and the Champions League, Retegui converted hard and low into the near bottom corner.

Atalanta are ahead!

Marten de Roon failed to make the most of a Kenan Yildiz misplaced pass by firing wide from distance when he had better options, but Atalanta couldn’t believe they weren’t further in front going into half-time.

Lookman had an incredible double chance, first his strike deflected onto the upright, then it was pulled back into his path to force a desperate Di Gregorio save. On the resulting corner, Zappacosta’s volley was palmed one-handed off the line by Di Gregorio and Ederson fired the rebound wide.

Juventus had a disastrous start to the second half, Lloyd Kelly’s pass intercepted by De Roon to spark the counter-attack, where Lookman’s angled drive was parried by Di Gregorio, the Retegui follow-up was blocked by Kelly and De Roon fired in at the third time of asking.

It has been coming – and it’s come through Marten de Roon!

Lookman could’ve had a third, but tried to do it himself rather than pull back for Retegui.

Atalanta were absolutely dominant and sliced the Juve defence open for 3-0. Sead Kolasinac completed a give and go with Zappacosta to reach the by-line, where his back-heel flick sent Manuel Locatelli to ground and set up Zappacosta’s angled drive through Kelly’s legs.

WHAT A GOAL

Beautiful interchange play from Zappacosta and Kolasinac, and the former strokes it beyond Di Gregorio to put Atalanta 3-0 ahead at the Allianz Stadium

It wasn’t over, as substitute Dusan Vlahovic slipped in the centre-circle to accidentally send Lookman clear on goal, he also had a bit of luck because the finish wrong-footed Di Gregorio at the near post with a deflection. At this point, half the Juventus supporters in the crowd walked out.

Atalanta make it FOUR

That man Ademola Lookman gets himself on the scoresheet now, his 13th Serie A goal of the season, to pile the misery on Juventus!

The Bianconeri tried to at least get a consolation goal, but Marco Carnesecchi made a sensational one-handed reaction save on the McKennie header.
