Juventus cannot seem to get the ball into the final third since we entered injury time!
90'
Four minutes of stoppage time...
88'
Atalanta are sitting deep and inviting Juventus onto them...will they regret that?
85'
If either Szczesny or Gollini gets the Man of the Match award today, then nobody can have any complaints. They have both been outstanding!
84'
P. Dybala enters the game and replaces Álvaro Morata.
A late change from Pirlo sees Dybala replace Morata. Six minutes for the Argentinian to find the winning goal!
80'
W. McKennie gets yellow.
Despite his appeals, McKennie is the latest player to be booked this evening for a poor challenge.
77'
The pace of the game has dropped slightly, and that is not a surprise. The two sets of players have been relentless in their desire to grab a second goal.
75'
Alex Sandro enters the game and replaces F. Chiesa.
A substitution for Juventus as goalscorer Chiesa is off, with Alex Sandro coming on.
72'
L. Muriel enters the game and replaces D. Zapata.
Zapata has been quiet tonight and he is given a rest, with Muriel entering the game with less than 20 minutes remaining.

Description
71'
Aleksey Miranchuk enters the game and replaces R. Malinovskyi.
Malinovskyi's night is over as Miranchuk replaces him.
68'
Atalanta have improved since Gomez came on, but they need to give him more time to make things happen. In the last few minutes, Atalanta's passes have started to go astray, and Juventus should be punishing them.
62'
GOLLINI!!!! He does it again. This time Juventus carve their way through the Atalanta defence and Morata looks destined to score. Gollini slips as he comes out to pressure him, but he still reacts quickly enough to turn the ball away for a corner.
61'
Penalty saved by P. Gollini!
It will be Ronaldo to take...
SAVEEDD!!!!! Gollni denies Ronaldo after diving to his left and Ronaldo is so annoyed with himself as he misses the spot-kick.
Ronaldo used his usual powerful run-up but did not got enough direction on his shot and Gollini guessed the right way.
60'
Álvaro Morata gets yellow.
Morata has reacted badly to a challenge from Djimsiti in the aftermath and he is shown a yellow card.
PENALTY JUVENTUS!!! Hateboer's clumsy challenge in the box and the referee points to the spot.
58'
We could be in for a thrilling finish now as both teams look for the upper hand. Bring on the next 30 minutes.
57'
R. Freuler has scored a goal for Atalanta!
GOAAAALLLLLL JUVENTUS 1-1 ATALANTA - Freuler that is outrageous!!!!! Gomez's determined play works perfectly as he battles away in midfield, only for Freuler to take over. He takes aim for goal and drills his shot off the crossbar and into the back of the net. Szczesny was helpless, and it is GAME ON!
55'
Gomez has had a couple of early touches, but he seems to be trying to do too much. At least he looks committed though of course.
53'
P. Gómez enters the game and replaces M. Pessina.
It is time. Gomez makes his way onto the pitch as he and Gasperini try to move on from their feud. He replaces Pessina who tried hard today in the middle of midfield.
52'
M. de Roon gets yellow.
The referee has no choice but to book De Roon after he chops down Cuadrado as he tried to counter for Juventus.
49'
Gollini is back on his feet and looks OK to continue.
46'
A. Rabiot gets yellow.
We are back underway in Turin, and there were no substitutions at half-time.
Nasty challenge from Rabiot and he is into the referee's book. He raked his studs down the back of Malinovskiy's leg, and that is a yellow card every day of the week.
45' +3
HALF-TIME - JUVENTUS 1-0 ATALANTA.
45'
There will be three minutes of stoppage time at the end of the first half.
43'
The first half nearly draws to a close, and it is a surprise to see the scoreline remain at 1-0. Both teams have had their chances, and there is every chance we see more goals in the second 45 minutes.
40'
Zapata wins Atalanta a free-kick as Bonucci clips him on the ankle while trying to make a tackle.
38'
C. Romero gets yellow.
Romero is shown a yellow card after going through the back of Morata near the halfway line. Silly challenge and a justified yellow card.
35'
Atalanta boss Gasperini faces a big decision tonight, with Gomez still on his bench. Their fall-out has rocked the Atalanta camp this month, and rumours suggest he will be moving on. He failed to make an appearance last weekend, will he get the chance to make amends tonight?
30'
Bentancur should be delighted with that assist. He had easier passes available to him but he trusted himself and that precision allowed Chiesa to score.
29'
F. Chiesa has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by R. Bentancur.
JUVENTUS 1-0 ATALANTA - Chiesa!!!!!!! Simply brilliant. The former Fiorentina player has given Juve the lead with a stunning drive. He collected the ball from Bentancur before making his way across the Atalanta box. He found a small space in the defensive line before curling a beautiful shot past Gollini.
27'
A. Rabiot enters the game and replaces Arthur.
As expected, Rabiot enters the fray in place of the injured Arthur, who can barely put any weight on his injured leg.
25'
Arthur's night is over. He has just hobbled back onto the pitch before collapsing in a heap. Rabiot is readying himself to come on.
24'
The game is back underway, Romero looks ready to return but Juve's medical staff are a little worried over Arthur.
19'
Atalanta need to try and get Zapata involved more; he has spent the start of the game chasing lost causes so far.
16'
Djimsiti comes to the rescue once again as he diverts a cross away from danger, which clips the head of Morata who looked destined to score. That interception has kept the scoreline at 0-0.
15'
Both teams are piling forward when they get the chance, but it is Juventus that look the most likely to score.
9'
Morata looks bang up for this, he has just been clipped from behind before then getting up to charge down a clearance from Gollini in the Atalanta goal.
7'
Morata comes forward again and goes down inside the penalty area, but there is no appeal for a penalty and Atalanta clear the danger.
4'
Szczesny is forced to make his first save as Pessina drives towards goal before unleashing a volley towards the far corner. The effort lacked power, so the former Arsenal goalkeeper is able to make a comfortable stop.
3'
It remains 0-0 as Malinovskiy smashes the ball into the empty stands behind the goal. Disappointing shot, but this is a bright start from the visitors.
2'
Atalanta win an early free-kick as Malinovskiy is brought down by Arthur as he makes his way to the edge of the box.

We are underway in Turin, with both teams in their traditional kits today!
Hello and welcome to today's coverage of the Serie A clash between Juventus and Atalanta. There is a full round of midweek fixtures in the Italian top flight, and both teams will be doing all they can to put pressure on the top three.
We could be in for an entertaining evening in Turin, with both teams coming into the game in good form. Juventus are unbeaten in their last 10 matches in all competitions, winning their last four.
Juve are fourth in the table, level on points with Napoli who play later today. Atalanta are six points behind them, but they have won three in their last five.
JUVENTUS (3-5-2): Wojciech Szczesny; Matthijs de Ligt, Leonardo Bonucci, Danilo; Juan Cuadrado, Weston McKennie, Rodrigo Bentancur, Arthur, Federico Chiesa; Alvaro Morata, Cristiano Ronaldo.
SUBS: Aaron Ramsey, Gianluca Frabotta, Alex Sandro, Paulo Dybala, Manolo Portanova, Cosimo Marco Da Graca, Dejan Kulusevski, Adrien Rabiot, Carlo Pinsoglio, Gianluigi Buffon, Federico Bernardeschi, Radu Dragusin.
ATALANTA (3-4-2-1): Pierluigi Gollini; Berat Djimsiti, Cristian Romero, Jose Luis Palomino; Hans Hateboer, Marten de Roon, Remo Freuler, Robin Gosens; Matteo Pessina, Ruslan Malinovskiy; Duvan Zapata.
SUBS: Marco Sportiello, Sam Lammers, Francesco Rossi, Luis Muriel, Aleksey Miranchuk, Amad Diallo Traore, Emmanuel Gyabuaa, Bosko Sutalo, Alejandro Gómez, Johan Mojica, Fabio Depaoli.
The visitors could do with more control in midfield, whether Gasperini turns to Gomez is the big question. One of the two may need to swallow their pride in order to get Atalanta back on track this evening.
That is all for tonight folks, thanks for joining us. Goodbye!
This result means Juventus may lose more ground on the likes of Milan and Inter this evening, with the pair of them in action later on.
Both Gollini and Szczesny were outstanding this evening, and neither keeper deserved to leave the field with nothing to show for their efforts. The former will grab the headlines for his penalty save, but Juventus needed their keeper to bail them out on numerous occasions.
