Mixed feelings for Bourabia as Sassuolo bow to Atalanta

Mehdi Bourabia endured mixed feelings in Sunday's Serie A encounter as he scored for both teams in Sassuolo's 4-1 loss to Atalanta.

The Morocco international turned the ball into the back of his own net in the 37th minute to give the hosts a 3-0 lead before scoring Sassuolo's consolation goal in the 92nd minute.

A brace from Daniel Zapata and Berat Djimsiti's lone strike secured victory for Atalanta in their first Serie A match since March 1, after over three-month hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
