Juan Musso - Concedes two in win Musso made three saves and conceded two goals during Sunday's 6-2 win over Udinese.
Impact Musso was back in the net after recovering from illness that made him miss the previous match and made some nice saves. On the other end, the goalkeeper couldn't do much when a shot from the right flank had its trajectory totally changed after being deflected into the net by his teammate Berat Djimsiti and then was beaten once again in the closing minutes. Clean sheets have been hard to come by for the goalkeeper and he'll have a tough mission next Sunday, when his side hosts league leaders Inter Milan.

Impact Djimsiti had a decent outing at the heart of the defense here, but was very unfortunate in the 59th minute, when a long-range shot from the right flank hit his right leg and completely changed its path, giving the goalkeeper no chance of making the save. Other than that, the centre back is enjoying a great season, having started the last four matches, so everything indicates he'll be in the lineup for next Sunday's clash against league leaders Inter Milan.

Matteo Pessina - Scores off bench in win Pessina scored a goal off two shots (one on target) and created one chance after coming off the bench during Sunday's 6-2 win over Udinese.
Impact Pessina was a halftime substitute, replacing Marten de Roon and didn't produce anything noteworthy until the stoppage time, when he sealed the 6-2 win for Atalanta with a one-timed shot from just outside the box. This was the first league goal for the attacker this season and he'll hope this helps him to get more playing time during next Sunday's clash against league leaders Inter Milan.

Then, the attacker found time to appear on the scoresheet once more, assisting Joakim Maehle for the goal that made it 5-2 in the 89th minute.

Impact Muriel received a rare crack at the starting XI and made most of the opportunity received, scoring once each half and being involved in many other dangerous plays while he was on the pitch. The forward found the back of the net just five times over 19 apperances in all competitons this season and will hope this performance is a sign of better things to come.
