Over 3,000 Atalanta fans greeted the team at the airport in Bergamo after their shock 2-0 victory away to Napoli.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s side are more accustomed to fighting off the threat of relegation, but are suddenly challenging for a place in Europe.
They have put together 16 wins, three draws and seven defeats this season, scoring 42 goals and conceding 26.
It’s particularly remarkable considering Gasperini was almost fired a month into the campaign for poor results.
Atalanta also sold midfielder Roberto Gagliardini to Inter in January, but have maintained their form anyway.
