Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was delighted with their 4-1 win at Empoli on Sunday.
Josip Ilicic and Duvan Zapata both hit doubles.
“This is always a tough venue for us, Empoli are a very attack-minded side who create chances. It was a good game, there could've been more goals at both ends, but these are three very important points," Gasperini told DAZN.
“We are in the Champions League too, Duvan Zapata arrived late from South America, so it was important for him to get a goal. Muriel played really well in the first half, he's coming back from an injury and unfortunately I had already used up a slot with Rafael Toloi's injury, so preferred to make the change at half-time rather than wait."
