{live, 18:54, FT: Salernitana 1-2 Atalanta}

Atalanta are now joint fifth with Roma, and have a game in hand.

{live, 18:51, Djimsiti over the bar}

Atalanta get a corner in stoppages, but Djimsiti turns over.

{live, 18:47, Salernitana chance!}

It’s that man Tchaouna again! He sprints forward, leaves Djimsiti for dead and then fires just over from a tricky angle!

{live, 18:46, Atalanta push}

El Bilal Toure flicks on the ball for Ruggeri, who earns a corner, but that is then over-hit.

{live, 18:42, Atalanta sub}

Toure replaces Lookman

{live, 18:40, Koopmeiners goal}

 

Teun Koopmeiners made that look so easy 😮‍💨

{live, 18:39, Atalanta sub}

Scamacca off, Djimsiti on

{live, 18:38, Udinese vs. Napoli line-ups}

Udinese: Okoye; Joao Ferreira, Bijol, Kristensen; Ehizibue, Walace, Zarraga, Kamara; Samardzic, Brenner; Lucca

Napoli: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Ostigard, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka, Cajuste; Politano, Osimhen, Lindstrom

{live, 18:36, Salernitana sub}

Bradaric off injured, Sfait on.

{live, 18:29, Huge Salernitana chance}

That was practically a goal-line clearance! Hateboer basically charged down the Weissman effort with his stomach!

{live, 18:28, Salernitana subs}

Zanoli and Legowski on, Sambia and Vignato off.

{live, 18:27, Scamacca wide}

Might’ve been offside, great first touch anyway and then drilled wide.

{live, 18:24, Scamacca goal}

{live, 18:23, Salernitana 1-2 Atalanta: Teun Koopmeiners!}

Corner not cleared effectively, but still nobody was expecting Koopmeiners to bend it immediately into the far bottom corner from that distance…

{live, 18:22, Atalanta chance}

De Roon ball over the top for Koopmeiners, it takes a weird bounce, but he forces a corner.

{live, 18:19, Salernitana sub}

Weissman replaces Ikwuemesi.

{live, 18:16, Salernitana 1-1 Atalanta: Gianluca Scamacca!}

Koopmeiners floats a lovely ball into the box, Pasalic nods it down as the assist for Scamacca to prod in from six yards.

{live, 18:09, Lookman close}

Lookman surges through the centre and drills inches wide from 12 yards.

{live, 18:06, Salernitana chance!}

Nearly 2-0! Tchaouna scorcher from outside the box, Carnesecchi has to beat that away!

{live, 18:05, 2nd half kicks off: Salernitana 1-0 Atalanta}

{live, 18:03, Triple Atalanta sub}

De Ketelaere, Ruggeri and Koopmeiners on, Miranchuk, Ederson and Scalvini off.

Salernitana replace Pasalidis with Pellegrino.

{live, 17:49, Half-Time: Salernitana 1-0 Atalanta}

Tchaouna counter-attack the only goal so far, against the run of play.

{live, 17:47, All Atalanta}

Lookman gets down the left, floats a cross over everyone, then Scamacca attempt blocked.

{live, 17:45, Miranchuk scuff}

A well-worked Atalanta passing move, but Miranchuk’s finish deflected off Pirola and into the arms of the goalkeeper. Pasalidis then booked for the earlier frankly very, very high tackle on Lookman. That was studs-up…

{live, 17:43, Atalanta not breaking through}

Atalanta are seeing a lot of the ball, but not doing much with it. And leaving themselves open to counter-attacks.

{live, 17:34, Tchaouna counter}

Not dissimilar to the goal, but this time Tchaouna finish deflected across the face of goal for a corner.

{live, 17:31, Atalanta threaten}

Lookman pulls back from the by-line, blocked for a corner by Fazio.

{live, 17:25, Tchaouna goal}

{live, 17:23, Lookman so close}

Scamacca finds himself down the right wing, whips a ball across the face of goal, beyond Miranchuk, only scuffed by Lookman inches wide of the far post!

{live, 17:19, Goal given!}

Not offside! There’s a shocker…

{live, 17:17, Salernitana 1-0 Atalanta: Loum Tchaouna!}

That’s going to need a check for offside… But the finish was great, turned inside De Roon from the right flank and bent the finish low into the far bottom corner!

{live, 17:15, Atalanta again}

Scamacca gathers with his back to goal from Ederson, turns, shot charged down by… Miranchuk. Who is offside.

{live, 17:07, Inches wide}

Lovely team move from Atalanta, Pasalic and Scamacca combine to set up Miranchuk, whose curler flashes just past the far post.

{live, 17:05, Atalanta chance}

Ademola Lookman fires just over the bar from the edge of the box after twisting and turning to find space.

{live, 17:00, We have kick-off in Salernitana vs. Atalanta!}

Salernitana: Fiorillo; Pasalidis, Fazio, Pirola; Sambia, Basic, L Coulibaly, Bradaric; Tchaouna, Vignato; Ikwuemesi

Atalanta: Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Hien, De Roon; Hateboer, Ederson, Pasalic, Zappacosta; Miranchuk, Scamacca, Lookman

{live, 16:58, Gasp history}

This is Gian Piero Gasperini’s 300th Serie A game with Atalanta.

{live, 16:57, Out come the teams}

It’s a Monday early evening, Salernitana are already relegated, Atalanta are between Coppa Italia and Europa League ties, so not exactly a big crowd…

{live, 16:47, Candreva award}

Antonio Candreva receives an award to mark his 500th Serie A appearance.

{live, 16:30, Team News}

La Dea rotate the squad after a 1-1 Europa League semi-final draw with Olympique Marseille and the second leg coming up on Thursday. Sead Kolasinac joins Rafael Toloi and Emil Holm on the treatment table.

Doomed Salernitana have Niccolò Pierozzi suspended, Antonio Candreva, Grigoris Kastanos, Giulio Maggiore, Jerome Boateng, Guillermo Ochoa and Norbert Gyomber not fully fit.

{live, 16:09, Salernitana vs. Atalanta line-ups}

Salernitana: Fiorillo; Pasalidis, Fazio, Pirola; Sambia, Basic, L Coulibaly, Bradaric; Tchaouna, Vignato; Ikwuemesi

Atalanta: Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Hien, De Roon; Hateboer, Ederson, Pasalic, Zappacosta; Miranchuk, Scamacca, Lookman

Serie A Super Monday

Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s Serie A games, as Atalanta visit Salernitana and Napoli face a desperate Udinese side.

These fixtures will complete Week 35 and could shake up the battles for Europe and to avoid relegation.

Salernitana are already doomed, but a win here at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT) would let Atalanta catch Roma in fifth place with a game in hand.

At 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT), Udinese can break out of the bottom three with a victory, but Napoli need to at least scrape a Conference League spot.
