Atalanta climbed to the top of the Serie A table – at least until the finish of AC Milan’s clash with Napoli later on Sunday – but the main talking point occurred in the dugout as Roma boss Jose Mourinho was sent off. Giorgio Scalvini scored the game’s only goal in the 35th minute, with Mourinho later taking issue with the officiating after seeing his side’s protests for a penalty waved away.
Game is over and the final score is Roma 0-1 Atalanta. Here is the match report.
