Emanuele Giaccherini's second goal in as many games extended Hellas Verona's winless streak in Serie A as they went down 2-0 to Bologna.

Verona are without a win this season and are joint bottom of the table after former Sunderland striker Giaccherini and Godfred Donsah helped Delio Rossi's side move up to 16th in the Serie A table.

In the evening match, AC Milan moved into fifth place after a goalless draw against Atalanta at San Siro.

Neither team could find the all-important breakthrough as teenage goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma produced a man-of-the-match display to keep the hosts in touch.

The Milan shot-stopper did brilliantly to get down low and parry Luca Cigarini's second-half header. Moments later the teenager was alert again as he responded quickly to push away Maximiliano Moralez's effort at the near post.

Sinisa Mihaljlovic's men could have stolen all three points through Luiz Adriano's header but he had his effort cleared off the line as Milan remain unbeaten in four Serie A games.
