Atalanta 1 AC Milan 3: Two-goal Piatek lands blow in fight for fourth

Krzysztof Piatek and Hakan Calhanoglu combined to see off Atalanta and send AC Milan four points clear in fourth thanks to a 3-1 victory.

Krzysztof Piatek continued his incredible scoring form with a decisive brace as AC Milan secured a potentially pivotal 3-1 win at Atalanta on Saturday.

On target in each of his previous three appearances, Poland international Piatek struck either side of half-time to help secure a come-from-behind victory that moved Milan four points clear of the hosts, who slipped down to seventh.

His first cancelled out Remo Freuler's 33rd-minute opener before Hakan Calhanoglu completed the quickfire turnaround with a thunderous drive 10 minutes after the interval.
