German Denis scores the only goal of the match as Atalanta BC claim a 1-0 victory in Serie A over AC Milan.

AC Milan have fallen to their fourth home defeat in Serie A this season after being beaten 1-0 by Atalanta BC this afternoon.

German Denis came close for the visitors inside the opening two minutes when he found space in the box, before scuffing an effort across goal and wide of the far post.

Luca Cigarini then threatened with a long-range strike that was comfortably saved by Diego Lopez.

Atalanta were creating the better chances and they came within inches of making the breakthrough as Denis rattled a shot against the bar.

The Nerazzurri finally made their dominance count by taking the lead in the 33rd minute when Maximiliano Moralez charged through the midfield, before sliding in Denis to fire past Lopez.

On the stroke of half time Jeremy Menez drilled a free kick just wide of the post as Milan headed into the break trailing.

Milan pressed for a goal after the break and Stephan El Shaarawy came close with a header that looped over the bar.

It proved to be as close as the hosts would come to finding a goal, as their winless run in Serie A stretched to four games.
