Panathinaikos shook off another bad night in Europe on Thursday to defeat Atromitos in the league on Sunday and cut the distance from the top to four points, at least for 24 hours as leader Olympiakos is in action on Monday at PAS Giannina.
The Greens had Marcus Berg to thank for their only goal in their second consecutive 1-0 (video) league win under new manager Marinos Ouzounidis, this time behind closed doors at Peristeri.
