Gasperini hits out at 'diving' Immobile

19 ott 2019

Atalanta drew 3-3 with Lazio this afternoon, despite leading the Biancocelesti 3-0 at half-time at the Stadio Olimpico. In the second half, Lazio took advantage of two penalties to draw 3-3, the equaliser coming in added time.

Speaking after the game, Atalanta head coach Gian Piero Gasperini voiced his anger at some of the refereeing decisions: 'This is a very serious episode, Immobile was walking and went to the ground. He dived, but now the penalties, I repeat, do not understand anything. No joke. It is ridiculous, he dives after a step, felt himself touched and fell. The episodes count a lot and we lost a Coppa Italia for this reason. Then if we want to talk about football, Atalanta were great, no doubt.'
