Panathinaikos’ worst ever season in the Greek league showed no signs of improving Sunday after a 3-0 loss at relegation-threatened Veria.
Ilias Ioannou scored twice for the hosts in the 13th and 45th minutes and Kenan Bargan added another goal in the 55th despite Panathinaikos having nearly two-thirds of possession.
Panathinaikos, last year’s runner-up, is now in eighth place, 19 points behind leader and archrival Olympiakos and only eight in front of bottom-place Kerkyra in the 16-team league heading into the winter break.
