Cristian Romero scored and assisted for Atalanta in their 3-0 win vs. AC Milan.

Romero opened the scoring for Atalanta mid way into the first half. A corner kick played short as Gosens plays a cross into the penalty area and Romero acrobatically heads the ball into the net to give Atalanta the 1-0 lead. With Atalanta leading 2-0, Romero would play a pass in to Zapata as he would score Atalanta’s third goal.

Mateo Musacchio would be substituted in for Milan early in the second half. Ankle surgery had kept him out and this was his first match of the season.

Aguero tweeted out that has tested positive as his difficult season continues. The Argentine has been struggling with injuries throughout the season ever since a knee injury at the end of last season. As he was making the bench for City and beginning to get some games, Aguero’s luck turned back around after it had been reported that he had come into close contact with someone with the virus.

Manchester City’s all team leading scorer will be out for at least 10 days which means he will miss three games. City play Cheltenham Town in the fourth round of the FA Cup and also play West Brom and Sheffield United in the league.
