Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was delighted with their 4-1 win at Benevento.

Josip Ilicic put on a masterclass this afternoon, scoring a goal and having a hand in the other three.

“Josip has this ability to draw the attacking moves towards him, he has such quality, but it's unfair to judge one player or area more than another. The defence and midfield are performing well too. We've got into this season now," said Gasperini.

“We are convinced it's not just physical, we also have a tactical and technical way of evading the pressing game. There's a lot of movement off the ball, we maintain balance even when we lose possession and don't concede as many counter-attacks as we used to. We are constantly seeking improvement."
