    It's a performance that will raise many questions for Ronald Koeman ahead of their trip to league leaders Manchester United. For Atalanta, it's a dream European comeback, and a strong start to the group stage.

    A night to forget for Everton, who are comprehensively beaten in Italy by a buzzing Atalanta side. Masiello, Gomez and Cristante's first half goals put a passive Everton team too far behind to fight back.
  • 87'
    Kurtic comes close, released on goal by the ever dangerous Gomez.
  • 81'
    Atalanta make their final change, bringing on Kurtic for third goalscorer Cristante.
  • 78'
    And now the excellent Petagna is withdrawn for Cornelius.
  • 70'
    Masiello falls awkwardly, but seems good to carry on.

    Double change for Everton, who bring on Sandro and Klaassen for Rooney and Schneiderlin.
  • 63'
    It really is an abysmal Everton performance, as aggressive as Atalanta have been.
  • 56'
    Stekelenburg well beaten as Freuler smashes the upright. Atalanta back on top here.
  • 54'
    Atalanta should be four up. Petagna is dangerous once again, leading the line and poking through to Gomez who can only strike high.
  • 46'
    Rooney is visibly more central and starts positively for Everton, forcing a save.
  • 45'
    We're back!
  • 45'

    The referee blows the whistle on a nightmare half for Everton, 3-0 down to an aggressive Atalanta side in Italy.
  • 43'
    A swift counter-attacking sweep sees Petagna picking out the oncoming Cristante, who makes no mistake bearing down on Stekelenburg. 3-0!

    3-0 ATALANTA!!

    2-0 Atalanta!
  • 32'
    Goalscorer Masiello is booked.
  • 32'
    It's getting tough for Everton, who are facing a tide of Atalanta pressure. Keane gets a vital touch on a dangerous cross, as the 'Toffees' survive another chance.
  • 28'
    It was coming. Defender Masiello found his way into the box, letting strike only for Stekelenburg to save expertly. The resulting corner sees the ball fall to him again, and he's on hand to turn it in for Atalanta's first European goal in 26 years. 1-0 Atalanta!

  • 27'
    Goal! Atalanta take the lead!
  • 20'
    For all of the talk of Rooney needing head-space away from football, he seems to be committed to the cause tonight, defending well on multiple occasions for Everton. Still no goals, though.
  • 13'
    Everton have their first spell of dominance in the match, as Sigurdsson shoots straight at the goalkeeper, before Rooney's chip sails just over.
  • 8'
    Atalanta have a lot of space down the wings, but can't convert the momentum into clear cut chances.
  • 3'
    It's early pressure from Atalanta, magnificently backed by their supporters. An early corner comes to nothing, though
  • 1'
    And we're off!
