Germany international Antonio Rüdiger suffered a third defeat of the season with AS Roma on matchday 13 in Italy’s Serie A, as they lost 2-1 to Atalanta in Bergamo. Diego Perotti had given Roma the lead from the spot in the first half, but the hosts levelled after the break through Mattia Caldara. The hosts then pushed on in search of a winner, and struck late with Franck Kessie converting a stoppage time penalty for the win.
The defeat ended a run of good form for Roma, who had collected 16 points from their last six matches. Rüdiger once again put in a solid performance as left-back, having helped Roma to two clean sheets soon after making his comeback from injury.
The result is a big boost for Sami Khedira and his Juventus side, who had already secured their win on Saturday with a 3-0 triumph over Pescara. With 33 points, Juventus are now seven ahead of second-placed Roma.
