Ilicic scores from midway line as Atalanta defeat Torino

Atalanta forward Josip Ilicic scored a freekick from close to the midway line, one of the most surprising Serie An objectives of the period, to top a cap stunt as they won 7-0 away to a sorry Torino side who completed with nine men on Saturday.

Free-scoring Atlanta were at that point 3-0 ahead when they won a freekick around two meters inside the Torino half in the 53rd moment. Two Torino players stepped back and Ilicic, seeing Salvatore Sirigu off his line, coasted the ball over the surprised goalkeeper and into the net.

The Slovenian opened the scoring in the seventeenth moment from short proximity after Jose Palomino won belonging and rolled the ball over the essence of the objective.

Robin Gosens volleyed the second 12 minutes after the fact and Duvan Zapata changed over a punishment, granted for a pull on Ilicic, just before halftime as Atalanta immediately put Monday's stun home thrashing by SPAL behind them.

Ilicic was mobbed by his colleagues in the wake of scoring his staggering freekick exertion and, one moment later, finished his cap stunt in the wake of getting behind the Torino barrier to take his association count for the season to 13.

Luis Muriel included two all the more late in the game, the initial a punishment, while Torino's disappointment bubbled over as Armando Izzo was sent off for a second bookable offense in the 76th moment and Sasa Lukic was given a straight red card in the 89th.

Atalanta, Serie A's main scorers with 57 objectives, pulled level on 38 focuses with fourth-set AS Roma who play Lazio on Sunday. It was Torino's initial seven-objective home annihilation in their Serie A history.

"On the off chance that we resembled this in each game, we'd be up close to the highest point of the table," said Atalanta mentor Gian Piero Gasperini.

His contrary number Walter Mazzarri apologized for an exhibition which drove many home fans to exit.

"Nothing worked... it was a shaky exhibition, there is nothing more to state," said Mazzarri, who wouldn't take questions and said his group would go into a preparation camp.

Prior, Genoa fullback Domenico Criscito missed a punishment without precedent for his profession as the assignment undermined side drew 0-0 at Fiorentina.

Criscito, who had recently changed over every one of the 13 punishments, saw his exertion spared by Fiorentina goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski who pulled off a few other great spares as they stayed unbeaten under new mentor Giuseppe Iachini.

SPAL, Genoa and Brescia are generally level on 15 focuses in the last three positions following SPAL's 3-1 home annihilation by Bologna.
