BERGAMO: Atalanta thrashed 10-man Bologna 5-0 in Bergamo on Sunday (Apr 25) to move into second place in Serie A and extend their unbeaten league run to seven games. The victory leaves Gian Piero Gasperini’s side on 68 points from 33 games, 11 adrift of runaway leaders Inter Milan but two ahead of AC Milan and Juventus. The Colombian striker set a personal record for goals, with 19, and assists, with eight, in a single Serie A season. Any hope of Bologna getting back in the game disappeared when Jerdy Schouten was sent off for a studs-up challenge on Cristian Romero early in the second half. Bologna fell to 12th place on 38 points after Udinese’s 4-2 win at Benevento earlier on Sunday saw them move to 39 points.
