UEFA Europa League (UEL) campaigners Atalanta have moved into the top 10 on the Italian Serie A table after they defeated hapless Benevento 1-0 at home.

Atalanta dominated the game but couldn’t find a way through until in-form striker Bryan Crisante broke the deadlock for the home side to take the three maximum points at stake.

The victory condemns Benevento to a 14th defeat in 14 league games meaning that the club stay rooted to the bottom of the table with 0 point and a goal difference of -28 in addition to the fact that they are 10 points away from safety.

On the other hand, Atalanta leapfrog Fiorentina and Torino into 10th place (19 points) as a result of the slim win.
