Romelu Lukaku header secures Napoli's 3-2 win over Atalanta, strengthens Serie A lead

MILAN: Romelu Lukaku scored a late goal to earn Napoli a 3-2 win at Atalanta on Saturday and strengthen its position at the top of the Serie A 2024-25 standings. The Belgian striker netted 12 minutes from time with a glancing header from Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa’s cross. Napoli, which lost 3-0 at home to Atalanta earlier this season, leads the table with 50 points, six ahead of Inter Milan which has two games in hand with Atalanta third on 43.

Atalanta went into the match after three consecutive league draws and the loss to Napoli ended its 16-match unbeaten run.

Juventus stretched its unbeaten Serie A 2024-25 streak to 21 games and broke into the top four after second-half goals by Samuel Mbangula and Timothy Weah gave it a 2-0 home win over AC Milan on Saturday. Agencies
