AC Milan succumbed to their second league defeat of the season with a 3-0 thrashing from Atalanta at San Siro on Saturday, but Stefano Pioli’s side remains top of Serie A summit.

A Cristian Romero header put the visitors ahead at halftime before a Josip Ilicic penalty and a Duvan Zapata strike completed a dominant victory for the Bergamo side.

Atalanta had the chances to win by an even wider margin as an out-of-sorts Milan put in one of their worst performances of the season.

The home side failed to muster a shot on target until debutant Mario Mandzukic drew a good save from Pierluigi Gollini in the 71st minute with his first touch after coming off the bench.

Milan nevertheless retains their league-leading position with 43 points as Inter fired blanks at Udinese.

Atalanta moved into the top four on 36 points, returning to form in style after back-to-back draws against Genoa and Udinese.
