Lecce had fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2, but Duvan Zapata’s hat-trick and some Josip Ilicic magic gave Atalanta the thumping 7-2 victory.
Forward Duvan Zapata scored a hat trick as free-scoring Atalanta went on another goal spree with a 7-2 win away to Lecce in Serie A on Sunday, the third time this season they have hit seven in a league game.
Atalanta raced to a two-goal lead before being pegged back to 2-2 by halftime but then scored three more in a devastating 15-minute spell early in the second half and added another two late in the game for good measure.
