A major upset at the Maradona Stadium. Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over league leaders Napoli. The first half was all about the “Lookman show”: the Nigerian striker opened the scoring with a powerful left-footed volley that left Meret with no chance, then doubled his tally with a stunning strike from outside the box, silencing the home crowd.
Atalanta kept Lukaku and his teammates under control, sealing the win with a third goal in the closing minutes from Retegui, who now has 11 goals in the league. This loss signals the first warning sign for Antonio Conte, whose Napoli now sits just one point ahead of Inter, with a crucial face-off at San Siro coming up next. The reigning champions, Inter, narrowly beat newly-promoted Venezia in their late match, with Lautaro Martinez securing the win despite a last-minute scare from Sverko's disallowed goal due to handball.
Inter is now just one point behind Napoli ahead of their head-to-head, while Atalanta and Fiorentina are both within three points of the top. Fiorentina continues its winning run, defeating Torino 1-0 with a goal from Kean. Juventus, led by Thiago Motta, earned a victory in Udine thanks to an own goal from Okoye, set up by Thuram, and a second goal by Savona.
