Lookman Leads Atalanta's 3-0 Masterclass Over Serie A Leaders Napoli

In a stunning upset, Atalanta triumphed over Serie A leaders Napoli with a convincing 3-0 victory in Naples on November 3, 2024. The match saw Atalanta's Ademola Lookman shine, scoring twice in the first half to put his side in a commanding position. Lookman's first goal came early, capitalizing on a defensive mishap to slot home a volley from a tight angle. He added a second shortly after, skillfully maneuvering past Napoli’s defense and delivering a powerful shot that beat goalkeeper Alex Meret. 

Napoli attempted to retaliate, with Scott McTominay hitting the post in a near-equalizer just after Lookman’s opener. Despite their efforts, Napoli struggled to penetrate Atalanta’s solid backline and were thwarted by an outstanding performance from Atalanta’s goalkeeper, Marco Carnesecchi. Late in the game, Atalanta sealed the win with a final goal from Mateo Retegui, who converted a well-placed low volley to make it 3-0.

This win marked Atalanta’s fifth consecutive victory in Serie A, showcasing coach Gian Piero Gasperini’s tactical expertise, especially his decision to keep key striker Retegui on the bench initially to surprise Napoli. The defeat is a blow to Antonio Conte’s Napoli, ending their three-game clean-sheet streak and shaking up the league standings.
