Serie A: Lookman shines with double as Atalanta thrash Napoli 3-0

Ademola Lookman’s early brace powered Atalanta to a stunning 3-0 win over Serie A leaders Napoli, marking a tactical masterclass by Gian Piero Gasperini.

This win, only Napoli’s second defeat of the season, showed Atalanta’s strategic depth, leaving out top scorer Mateo Retegui and catching Antonio Conte’s side off-guard.

Lookman opened the scoring after capitalizing on a deflection, volleying from a tight angle to break Napoli’s three-game clean sheet streak.

Shortly after, Scott McTominay came close to equalizing, hitting the post with a powerful strike.

However, Atalanta extended their lead when Charles De Ketelaere’s pass found Lookman, who cut inside Giovanni Di Lorenzo and curled a shot beyond goalkeeper Alex Meret.

Napoli struggled to break through Atalanta’s defense, with Marco Carnesecchi denying several close-range attempts.

Napoli’s late efforts to press forward only left them vulnerable to counter-attacks.

Lookman nearly added another, hitting the side-netting and Retegui, who entered late, sealed the 3-0 win with a fine low volley from Matteo Ruggeri’s cross.
