Atalanta management furious after 8-goal Torino thriller

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was furious with the match officials after their 4-4 draw with Torino.

La Dea had been down 4-2 before fighting back, while Torino received two penalties, both converted by Sasa Lukic.

“We knew Toro would create problems for us and it was a very entertaining game," Gasperini's assistant manager Tullio Gritti told DAZN.

“There was a foul on the first goal, it's hardly likely our player fell by himself. We got it back on track, but the penalty for Remo Freuler's challenge was a real stretch.

“It is a euphemism to say we were not pleased with the refereeing this evening. We've had to deal with these situations a lot this season and many of them were ignored by the media.

“Perhaps we irritate someone when we get too high up the standings, but we will try to keep going anyway."
