Atalanta 1-0 Juventus: Italian giants slip to fourth after late defeat
- Published
Juventus lost to Atalanta in Serie A for the first time since 2001
Juventus' hopes of Champions League qualification are under threat after they slumped to defeat at Atalanta.
Ruslan Malinovsky's deflected 86th-minute shot flew past a wrong-footed Wojciech Szczesny to win it for the home side, who leapfrog Juventus into third place in Serie A.
Atalanta are two points behind second-placed AC Milan, who beat Genoa 2-1.
Andrea Pirlo's Juventus are fourth, two points above fifth-placed Napoli.
Napoli could have knocked Juve out of the top four in Sunday's late game but they were held to a 1-1 draw by leaders Inter.
The top four in Serie A will qualify for next season's Champions League.
Without the injured Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus struggled to break down their hosts and Alvaro Morata lacked composure with two presentable chances.
Indeed, Atalanta had been the more dangerous and seconds before his winning goal, Malinovsky's 40-yard rocket shot had Szczesny at full stretch to turn the ball round the post.
