A chipped finish from Kessie set Atalanta on the way to victory in Serie A. The forward scored the opening goal in a 3-1 success, according to the match summary. On Monday, Franck Kessie opened his scoring account for the season with that goal. Maurizio Sarri’s Atalanta, 10th in the standings, beat bottom side Venezia, who remained without a point after six rounds.
The move came four minutes into the game at Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo. Nikola Krstovic played Kessie into space; from the left side of the area, Kessie lifted the ball over Filip Stankovic as the goalkeeper came off his line.
Krstovic then made a decisive contribution: after providing the assist, the Montenegrin scored twice, in the 7th and 31st minutes, to put the result beyond doubt in the first half. Atalanta nevertheless finished with 10 men after Eljif Elmas was sent off in the 89th minute.
