Atalanta strengthened their grip on third place in Serie A with a 4-0 win at Juventus on Sunday, ending the Bianconeri's five-game winning streak in the league.


Gian Piero Gasperini's side moved to 58 points, three behind leaders Inter Milan, while Juventus remain fourth on 52.


It was Juventus' first home defeat by at least four goals in Serie A since 1967, and left the frustrated fans at the Allianz Stadium jeering their team after a night to forget.


Both sides had chances to break the deadlock early on, but it was Mateo Retegui who put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot just before the half-hour mark after Weston McKennie had been fouled.


Marten de Roon pounced on a rebound from Juve defender Lloyd Kelly to fire into an open net early in the second half, before Davide Zappacosta made it 3-0 in the 66th minute with a close-range finish after a brilliant back-heel pass from Sead Kolasinac.


Ademola Lookman completed the rout 13 minutes from time when his shot deflected off a Juventus defender and beat goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio.

"I think today we were up against a team that was eager to capitalise on our mistakes," Juventus coach Thiago Motta said. "We gave players like Lookman the chance to take advantage of counter-attacks. After a defeat like that, we are certainly sad and disappointed. We will no longer be talking about fighting for the title."
