Atalanta may have been in fine form recently, but as soon as the whistle blew at the San Siro, it was all AC Milan. You'd almost think the team were, I don't know, playing the game of their lives. Kevin-Prince Boateng and Zlatan Ibrahimovic took it in turns to torment Andrea Consigli, but the Atalanta keeper managed to parry away quite a few shots.

Then the news must have come through that Claudio Marchisio scored in Turin. Determined not to let Juventus run away with the scudetto just yet, KPB sent a cross into the area, where Sulley Muntari was waiting to slot it into the bottom left corner.

The visitors might not have had anything to play for, but they weren't ready to give in that easily. German Denis, Atalanta's top scorer with 16 thus far, tried a header at the other end, but Christian Abbiati scrambled to save before the ball found its way into the net.
