Atalanta survived going two goals behind in the opening 11 minutes to seal a highly entertaining comeback win and deal Lazio’s Serie A title hopes a blow in a clash of the two highest-scoring teams in the Italian top flight at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri.

Marten de Roon scored a bizarre fifth-minute own-goal before Sergej Milinkovic-Savic doubled the visitors’ lead just six minutes later, but Robin Gosens pulled one back seven minutes before half-time.

Ruslan Malinovskiy drew Atalanta level midway through the second half before Jose Luis Palomino nodded the winner ten minutes before time.
