Atalanta hauled themselves back into contention to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages with a 2-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield.

Josip Ilicic and Robin Goesens scored two goals in the space of four minutes in the second half for the Italian side on Wednesday evening.

The victory moves Atalanta level on points with second placed Ajax in Group D and Gian Piero Gasperini's side now host Midtjylland and travel to Ajax in their final two fixtures.

Meanwhile, 2019 winners Liverpool are not assured of their spot in the last 16 yet.
