Everton have failed to restore some lost pride in their Europa League journey as they were crushed 5-1 by Atalanta.
Despite an initial dominance in possession for the hosts, Atalanta took the lead after less than 15 minutes thanks to Bryan Cristante.
The Italian collected a cross from Timothy Castagne, coming from the right-hand side, and curled the ball home before any Everton defender could intervene.
The guests easily broke the deadlock only 12 minutes after a slow beginning for both sides. Castagne served a sharp cross inside the box from the right flank as Cristante anticipated teammate Petagna and Everton defenders to send the ball inside the goal.
