Serie A: Ademola Lookman’s brace powers Atalanta to stun Napoli in 3-0 victory
In a stunning performance at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Ademola Lookman scored twice as Atalanta handed Serie A leaders Napoli a shocking 3-0 defeat.
Lookman’s clinical finishing made up for the absence of top scorer Mateo Retegui, who remained on the bench for most of the game.
Atalanta opened the scoring when Charles de Ketelaere set up Lookman, who calmly slotted the ball into the bottom corner. Napoli nearly equalized shortly after, but Scott McTominay’s powerful strike hit the post. Lookman soon struck again, delivering a precise shot to double Atalanta’s lead.
Retegui, who was subbed in late, sealed the victory with his 11th goal in 11 matches, volleying a cross into the bottom corner during stoppage time. The win lifts Atalanta to second in the standings, with Inter Milan’s result later on Sunday potentially affecting their position.
