Atalanta delivered a reality check to Serie A leaders Napoli with a commanding 3-0 win on Sunday, powered by a brace from Ademola Lookman.
Napoli had been eyeing the chance to widen their lead to seven points over Inter Milan, who play later in the day, but Atalanta shocked the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, snapping Napoli’s unbeaten streak that dated back to August 18.
Lookman opened the scoring in the 10th minute, seizing on Marten de Roon’s headed pass and slotting it past Napoli keeper Alex Meret from close range.

Mateo Retegui sealed the victory for Atalanta in injury time with his 11th goal of the season.
The win lifted Atalanta to 22 points, putting them in second place ahead of the day’s remaining fixtures.
