Atalanta secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over AC Milan on Friday, with Ademola Lookman scoring a last-minute header to propel his side to the top of Serie A.
In the dying moments of the match, with just three minutes remaining, Lookman was left unmarked as a corner kick sailed into the box. The Nigerian forward made no mistake, directing the ball into the net to seal all three points for Atalanta.
With the win, Atalanta moved to the summit of the league table with 34 points, two ahead of second-place Napoli, who will face Lazio at home on Sunday. AC Milan, despite a valiant effort, remain in seventh place with 22 points.
This victory also saw Atalanta equal their record nine-match winning streak in Serie A, matching their impressive run from February to July 2020. Lookman’s goal marked his eighth league strike in just 12 appearances this season, further solidifying his importance to the team and his impressive form.
Atalanta’s rise to the top signals a strong campaign, with fans now hopeful that their team can continue their exceptional run.
