Serie A: Atalanta Bergamo defends championship lead

Atalanta Bergamo has successfully defended its lead in the Italian Serie A.

The former club of national soccer player Robin Gosens won 2-0 (0-0) at SSD Monza, which was still pointless, and is two points ahead of SSC Napoli and champions AC Milan after five games.

19-year-old Dane Rasmus Höjlund (57′) gave Atalanta the lead, an own goal by Marlon (65′) sealed the fifth defeat for the club of former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
