  Atalanta stay top of Serie A with late equaliser at Lazio
  29-12-2024

News Desk : A late equaliser from Marco Brescianini kept Atalanta top of Serie A with a point at Lazio.

Fisayo Dele-Bashiru`s first-half goal for the hosts looked to have Lazio on course for victory before Brescianini scored in the 88th minute.

The result does mean Atalanta`s streak of 11 consecutive victories is at an end.

However, Gian Piero Gasperini`s side are still top of the table with 41 points, one ahead of Inter Milan who won 3-0 at Cagliari earlier on Saturday, while Lazio are fourth.

The Rome side dominated the first half and were rewarded in the 27th minute when Nicolo Rovella played a high through ball to Dele-Bashiru.

The former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder cut inside and volleyed home.

But Atalanta snatched a point late on when Ademola Lookman found Brescianini to score from close range.

It moved Atalanta back above Inter in the Italian top flight, though the Milan side have a game in hand.

Second-half goals from Alessandro Bastoni, Lautaro Martinez and Hakan Calhanoglu gave Inter their fifth straight league win.
