Atalanta goes third with Monza win

Gian Piero Gasperini's side move above Roma into third spot in Serie A after a comfortable win over Monza.

Atalanta moved into third place in Serie A with a comfortable 2-0 win over Monza on Saturday. Goals from Ademola Lookman and Rasmus Hojlund secured the victory for Gian Piero Gasperini's side, who moved above Roma into third spot. Atalanta dominated the game from start to finish and could have won by a more convincing margin. Lookman opened the scoring in the 10th minute with a fine finish from the edge of the area, and Hojlund doubled the lead just before half-time with a header from close range. Monza rarely threatened to get back into the game, and Atalanta cruised to a comfortable victory. The win moves Atalanta into third place in Serie A, level on points with second-placed Inter Milan and four points behind leaders Napoli.

Lookman and Hojlund star for Atalanta

Ademola Lookman and Rasmus Hojlund were the stars of the show for Atalanta, with both players scoring goals and causing problems for the Monza defence all afternoon. Lookman opened the scoring with a fine finish from the edge of the area, while Hojlund doubled the lead with a header from close range. Lookman has been in impressive form for Atalanta this season, scoring five goals in his last six games. The Nigerian forward is a constant threat with his pace and trickery, and he is quickly becoming one of the most exciting players in Serie A. Hojlund has also been impressive for Atalanta this season, scoring four goals in his last four games. The Danish striker is a physical presence who is good in the air and has a good eye for goal. He is still only 20 years old, and he has the potential to become a top striker.
