23:04 BST - That about wraps things up for us. Thank you for checking in, until next time!
23:00 BST - Speaking after his side's 0-0 draw with Arsenal, Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini was left dumbfounded by David Raya's miraculous double save which ensured Arsenal escaped with clean sheet.
"He was a cat! The first save OK, but the one straight afterwards, that was fantastic," he said.
"For Mateo, it was probably more of a mistake for the rebound than for the penalty. Obviously it made a big difference to the result, but I'm sad for Mateo because he played his best game since he was here.
"Maybe the match would have finished 1-1 anyway, but he deserved the goal."

"It's the first time I've scored three (penalties) in a game. That doesn't happen at all really.
"I practice my penalties, I have a good routine but to be honest I didn't really know what to do for the third one, but thankfully I was able to put it away."
