Fiorentina and Atalanta drew 2-2 at the Stadio Franchi to close out matchday 9 of Serie A, in a contest that saw the lead change hands twice.
Charles De Ketelaere gave Atalanta the lead, but Fiorentina hit back through Njie and Joao Mario to turn the match around. Nicola Zalewski then equalised for the visitors, ensuring the points were shared.
Atalanta coach Maurizio Sarri pointed to the club's injury problems after the game, describing the situation as one of "survival" and noting that pre-season preparation had been virtually non-existent.
Zalewski has now scored one goal and contributed three assists in seven appearances for Atalanta this season, with FootVal's valuation of the 24-year-old Polish midfielder standing at €22.1m. De Ketelaere, who has one goal and three assists in nine league outings, is valued at €37m by FootVal.
The draw leaves both sides without a win from the match, with Corriere dello Sport noting that Fiorentina's coach Vanoli remains in the relegation zone.
