Parma seals survival after inspired turnaround
Jacob Ondrejka's stoppage-time winner completed a superb turnaround for Parma, which secured Serie A survival by snatching a dramatic 3-2 victory against Atalanta.
Christian Chivu's side recovered from 2-0 down at Gewiss Stadium to claim the win required to ensure its top-flight status for another season at least.
Atalanta was already assured of a third-place finish and Champions League football next season, and took control through Daniel Maldini's quickfire brace.
The attacking midfielder tucked home Raoul Bellanova's 32nd-minute cross, before rifling home a second goal within 60 seconds.
Parma was two points clear of the bottom three, but in danger of potentially getting leapfrogged by Lecce and Empoli.
Nevertheless, it appeared invigorated after the break, and halved its deficit within three minutes of the restart when Antoine Hainaut pounced on a loose ball in the box and fired home.
Half-time substitute Ondrejka's individual effort then dragged the visitors level, before the Swede completed the turnaround in the first minute of stoppage time to stun the home fans into silence.
