Serie A | Atalanta 1-0 Roma: Scalvini ruins Gasperini return to Bergamo

Giorgio Scalvini scored the decisive goal as Atalanta gave Gian Piero Gasperini a painful return to Bergamo, forcing Roma to leave empty-handed.

This was an emotional evening with Gasperini’s first return to Bergamo as an opponent after nine years at the club. Ivan Juric struggled to replace him, but things had improved since Raffaele Palladino took over on November 11. Ademola Lookman and Odilon Kossounou were still at AFCON, with Raoul Bellanova and Mitchel Bakker injured, so Nicola Zalewski was moved into a more advanced role.
