In a straightforward home league victory over Ademola Lookman’s team – Atalanta, Victor Osimhen provided the assist for the opening goal.

After being repeatedly denied by Musso, Spalletti’s team resisted at the other end to record another clean sheet, and after an hour had passed, a flash of brilliance from Kvaratskhelia snapped the tie to hand the home side the lead.

Before 29-year-old centre-back – Amir Rrahmani doubled the lead to seal off the victory and all three points with a powerful header 17 minutes later.
