Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was delighted with their 4-1 rout of Salernitana on Monday.

Luis Muriel, Mario Pasalic, Charles de Ketelaere and Aleksei Miranchuk struck for La Dea.

Gasperini said: "In the second half we changed little, but we increased the quality and speed. The goal scored in the first quarter of an hour? We are working on dead balls, but we are conceding a few goals too often, which is not very good because we have the characteristics that can reverse this trend. A goal like that can put you in difficulty, we lost a bit of clarity, we did well in the second half."

"The squad is expanding because we have had an extraordinary Mario Pasalic in these matches, he is proving to be a reliable player. Players change, right now he can play in a role in which he struggled a few years ago. He played 3 extraordinary games, we can play the midfield well.

"At the back we hope to have caught up with Sead Kolasinac, for (Jose Luis) Palomino things are a bit difficult.

"Up front we have a group of players that are coming through. Let's wait for Gianluca Scamacca, if the situation grows there we can grow in everything."
