Watch as Atalanta turned on the style to crush Venezia 4-0 with a Mario Pasalic hat-trick, but it was all about the inspired assists from Josip Ilicic and Luis Muriel.
The opener set the scene for what would follow in Bergamo, Ilicic threading a pass through the eye of a needle – and Tanner Tessmann’s legs – to send Pasalic clear.
The Croatian added a second five minutes later after combining with Muriel, while Teun Koopmeiners drilled in first-time from the D.
Muriel thumped the upright with a well-worked move, but decided to provide another assist for Pasalic to complete his hat-trick, turning Ethan Ampadu inside out.
It wasn’t all one-way traffic, though, as Juan Musso had to make several saves too.
