Ademola Lookman scored double as Atalanta won 3-0, against league leaders, Napoli.

Napoli, who have been impenetrable this campaign, conceding just five times in their opening 10 Serie A matches, fell to Lookman’s brilliance and Atalanta’s pressuring attack.

The Naples had the first attempt but were unlucky to hit the back of the net as Romelu Lukaku’s header was easily held by Marco Carnesecchi.

Lookman however broke the deadlock, crashing a close-range volley into the bottom corner from Charles De Ketelaere’s flick-on.

Napoli almost responded with Scott McTominay but his effort from outside the area struck the woodwork.

Instead, Lookman doubled the lead for the visitors. The Nigeria International received a pass from Ketelaere and curled home.

The visitors sealed the game as substitute Mateo Retegui sent a volley into the net in injury time.

Atalanta are now three points behind Napoli, who still retains their lead on the log with three points.
