Match report: Reds suffer Champions League defeat against Atalanta

Liverpool suffered a setback in their Champions League Group D campaign as they were beaten 2-0 by Atalanta BC on Wednesday night.

After taking maximum points from their opening three games, the Reds’ lead in the section was diminished as Josip Ilicic and Robin Gosens struck in the second half at Anfield.

With AFC Ajax defeating FC Midtjylland elsewhere in the group, Jürgen Klopp’s side now hold a two-point advantage in the race to reach the last 16 with two fixtures remaining.
