Inter's first-half goals seal a 2-0 win for them over Atalanta. D'Ambrosio scored the earliest goal in a Serie A match this season when he headed in Young's cross after just 50 seconds. Young then doubled the lead with a wonderful curling shot from outside the box that nestled in the bottom-right corner. Both sides had good chances in the second half, but neither could find the back of the net.
That win means that Inter finish second in Serie A this season, just one point behind champions Juventus in the end. Their season isn't over yet though as their attention turns to their Europa League round of 16 second-leg tie against Getafe. Lazio's loss to Napoli means that Atalanta finish in third place and they can now look forward to a Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain.
That's all for today, goodbye!

67'
It's a great cross from Gomez on the right as he swings it into the far post. Zapata misses it and it falls to Gosens, who is in space. It bounces up and hits his arm before he can have a shot though and the free-kick is given against him.22:16

Atalanta get us back underway for the second half!21:54
Gasperini won't be happy with how his side have played so far and they're yet to have a shot on Handanovic's goal so far. He'll want to see a big improvement after the break, especially in the final third. Conte, on the other hand, will want to see more of the same as he looks for a second-place finish in the league.21:47
Inter lead Atalanta 2-0 at the break. It took them just 50 seconds to break the deadlock after D'Ambrosio headed Young's cross into the back of an empty net to score the earliest Serie A goal this season.

42'
GREAT CHANCE! Gomez times his run perfectly to stay onside before swinging a dangerous cross into the box. Young misses it and Pasalic hits the shot on the volley, but Young was in the right place to block it and put it out for a corner. 21:31

9'

Atalanta are struggling to keep hold of the ball and get out of their own half at the moment as Inter are pressing them high up the field and forcing them into sloppy mistakes.20:56
4'
That is the end of Gollini's game and Sportiello has come on to replace him.02:10
3'
