Ademola Lookman's late strike could not spark a comeback, as Como shock Atalanta.
Atalanta scored the first and last goal in the game, but Como's three goals in between ensured they were 3-2 victors.
Gian Pierro Gasperrini decided to rest star forward Ademola Lookman, and although the Nigerian scored when he was brought in the second-half, he could not do enough to salvage a point.

Key match details
Atalanta dominated the early exchanges, and got themselves in the lead after Como did a poor job of clearing a corner as ex-Chelsea star Davide Zappacosta capitalised, unleashing a precise strike from the edge of the area to give La Dea and early lead.
Undeterred, Como launched a spirited response, unlucky not to equalise by halftime as Martin Carnesecchi was on hand to deny multiple attempts. The hosts' fortune reversed after the break, as Como struck three times within 15 minutes.
Strefezza levelled seconds into the second half, courtesy of Sergi Roberto's ingenious backheel. Nico Paz's deflected shot then put Como ahead before Alieu Fadera sealed the win.
Atalanta's response was muted, with Ademola Lookman's 98th-minute penalty coming too late to spark a revival. The Nigerian's consolation goal offered scant solace for Gian Piero Gasperini's side.
