After receiving a 4-0 hammering by Chelsea a few days ago, Juventus were aiming to earn a positive result in Serie A but instead see their struggles continue after Saturday’s performance.

The hosts started on the front foot with Paulo Dybala, Manuel Locatelli and Federico Chiesa lunging forward in attack but nothing came from their attempts against a united Atalanta side.

Instead, poor defending handed the visitors multiple opportunities to open the scoring, and as a result, Duván Zapata made no mistake to make things 1-0 with a thumping strike.

The second half would see the Bianconeri suffer further blows after being forced to make two changes with Chiesa and Weston McKennie appearing to pick up slight knocks.

As time ticked away, Juventus continued to hunt for an equaliser but organised Atalanta stifled any looming threats with goalkeeper Juan Muss, in particular, making impressive saves.

Some late drama saw Dybala’s freekick hit off the crossbar with seconds left in the game summing up a frustrating night.

With the result, the hosts suffer their fifth league loss this season and sit eighth in the table.

Atalanta, meanwhile, are fourth and pick up their first league win over Juventus in Turin since 1989.
