The Italian side humiliated the Reds at their stadium.

Atalanta against all odds defeated Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield and made a crucial step to eliminate Klopp’s side from the ¼ finals of the Europa League as the Italian team will have a comfortable lead before the 2nd leg in Italy.

Gianluca Scamacca scored the 1st goal in the match near the end of the 1st half after Davide Zappacosta’s assist. The former Premier League forward Scamacca doubled his team lead at Anfield with his 2nd goal in the match in the 60th minute after Charles De Ketelaere’s assist.

It’s interesting that Gianluca scored only 3 Premier League goals in 16 matches in the Premier League playing for West Ham, but tonight scored twice at Anfield.

The things for the home side became even worse when Mario Pasalic scored after Ederson’s assist to make it 3-0 in the 83rd minute.

Dominik Szoboszlai had a fantastic opportunity to score for Liverpool in the extra time, but his shot was not good and easily saved by Juan Musso.

The team that advances to the ½ finals of the Europa League from this matchup will face Benfica or Marseille.
