Jasmin Kurtic scores twice as Atalanta defeat Genoa

Two goals from Jasmin Kurtic paved the way for Atalanta to claim their third consecutive Serie A win with a 3-0 triumph over Genoa on Sunday.

The Slovenian international opened the scoring in the 36th minute when Roberto Gagliardini's through ball saw him spring the offside trap and slide the ball beneath Genoa goalkeeper Mattia Perin.

Perrin was at fault for Atalanta's second goal on the stroke of half-time when he got a hand to Kurtic's low cross but allowed the ball to squirm under him and into the net.

And Genoa's dismal day was completed in stoppage time when Papu Gomez finished a swift counter-attack with the home side's third goal from the edge of the box.
