Late Goal from Romelu Lukaku Secures Napoli's Victory Over Atalanta

In a thrilling Serie A matchup in Bergamo, Romelu Lukaku emerged as the hero for Napoli, scoring a crucial goal in the dying moments to seal a 3-2 victory against Atalanta. The game showcased an intense back-and-forth, with Lukaku’s goal coming from a precise glancing header off a cross delivered by Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, just 12 minutes before the final whistle.

Atalanta initially took the lead in the first half, with Mateo Retegui striking a powerful left-footed shot that found the back of the net after 16 minutes. Napoli responded effectively, equalizing in the 27th minute through Matteo Politano, who capitalized on a deflected cross. The visitors then took the lead shortly before halftime, when Scott McTominay finished confidently from close range after another assist from Anguissa.

The second half saw a resurgence from Atalanta, with Ademola Lookman managing to level the score at 2-2 in the 55th minute. Lookman showcased his skill by nutmegging defender Giovanni Di Lorenzo before firing a low, precise shot past the Napoli defense, which was struggling to contain him under pressure. Ultimately, however, it was Lukaku’s dramatic late goal that solidified Napoli’s place at the top of the Serie A standings, as they sit six points clear of Inter Milan, who have two games in hand.
