Pasalic and De Roon off for Atalanta, Brescianini and Sulemana on.
His first Serie A goal!
Carnesecchi made an extraordinary save using his foot on the Alessio Zerbin angled drive from eight yards, but could do nothing on the Vardy follow-up!
The veteran showed he’s fully fit with some pretty impressive tumbling!
Scamacca scuffs the finish straight at Silvestri, but the offside flag was up anyway on the Zalewski disguised pass.
Scamacca booked for holding up the arm and catching Baschirotto, he saw him coming.
Silvestri and Bianchetti got into a muddle on the pass there, but managed to hoof it clear.
Folino on for Cremonese, Payero off.
The resulting corner is cleared as far as the D, De Roon on the volley and it flashes just wide!
Samardzic daisy-cutter from outside the area, Silvestri gets down and fingertips it round the base of the near post!
Another dangerous cross for Pasalic this time, Floriani Mussolini gets his head to it first. Atalanta pushing now.
Zalewski cross for Scamacca at the back post, Baschirotto gets something on it for the corner.
Terracciano again throws himself in the way of the Lookman strike from the edge of the area! It’s unorthodox, but effective.
Lookman goes down under pressure from Barbieri in a tangle, but the referee waves play on. They were pushing each other and to be fair Lookman didn’t complain.
Bianchetti on, Faye off for Cremonese.
Samardzic cuts inside and drills the finish through legs from the edge of the box, Silvestri gets down to push it round the base of the near post!
6 Italians from a possible 44 playing in the two early games.
