March 10, (THEWILL) – Atalanta, with Ademola Lookman central to their attacking thrust, delivered a commanding performance to defeat Juventus 4-0 at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday, becoming the first team to inflict a home Serie A loss on the Bianconeri this season. The visitors controlled the match from start to finish, with Lookman’s constant threat troubling the Juventus defence throughout as La Dea maintained their position three points behind league leaders Inter Milan.
Mateo Retegui opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Weston McKennie handled Berat Djimsiti’s header in the box. The lead was doubled immediately after half-time when Marten de Roon found the net following initial saves from Michele Di Gregorio. Despite Juventus manager Thiago Motta making four substitutions to turn the tide, his team struggled to create meaningful opportunities.
Sead Kolasinac and Davide Zappacosta combined brilliantly for the third goal in the 66th minute, with Zappacosta applying a calm finish after Kolasinac’s backheel assist. Lookman completed the rout when Dusan Vlahovic, introduced late by Juventus, slipped and inadvertently played the ball into Lookman’s path for a clinical fourth goal.
The result extended Atalanta’s unbeaten run to seven consecutive Serie A matches under Gian Piero Gasperini, keeping them firmly in the title race. For Juventus, the defeat marked their third loss in five matches across all competitions, though this was their first within regular time.
The comprehensive victory has strengthened Atalanta’s grip on third place, moving them six points clear of fourth-placed Juventus. Both teams had shown attacking intent from the opening minutes, but it was the visitors’ clinical finishing and tactical discipline that proved decisive at the Allianz Stadium.
