And now there are nine. Atalanta does not stop and in the second match of the 15th week of Serie A defeated Milan 2-1, achieving the ninth consecutive victory in all competitions and taking the lead in the championship. Dea e Gasperini, suspended and replaced on the bench by Gritti, made the most of the standard shots to score both goals of the match.
Atalanta initially took the lead with De Ketelaere in the 12th minute – brilliant to pass over Hernandez – and then with Lookman they decided the match three minutes before the end. Meanwhile, Milan had managed to equalize with Morata in the 22nd minute after Leao's assist, but it was not enough to leave Bergamo without defeat and to remain in pursuit of the top teams. The difference with the leading Atalanta is now 12 points.
Inter continue to chase Napoli with a convincing hat-trick. After the postponement of the match against Fiorentina due to Bove's health problem, in the 15th week of Serie A, Simone Inzaghi's team imposed 3-1 on Parma and moved to 31 points. At the Meazza, during the first half, it was the Blues who controlled the game and, after a shot on the crossbar by Dumfries, the Dukes were forced to surrender to a masterpiece by Dimarco (40′). This goal paved the way for Inter's show. In the second half, Barella (56′ – wonderful assist from Mkhitaryan) and Thuram (67′) added to the score and practically closed the match. In the end, Darmian's own goal (81′) did not change anything in the fate of the game.
