Atalanta wins 3-1 in Parma to join Inter at the top

PARMA (ITALPRESS) – All-Nerazzurri summit in Serie A. After Inter’s five-peat comes Atalanta’s trio, defeating Parma 3-1 in a match dominated and penned by Gasperini’s great signatures: Retegui opens (12th goal) and closes Lookman, who had seen two goals cancelled out. Dea dominates from the start, annihilating a rival too careless in the defensive phase. The Nerazzurri go through after four minutes with a typical “Gasperini-style” action: Bellanova breaks through on the right, Retegui heads and it’s 1-0. Bonny immediately answers for Parma but, at 8′, the encore would come: Pasalic’s backheel for Lookman, but everything is stopped for offside. Retegui twice came close to a double and Atalanta continued to push against an opponent struggling to come out of its shell, finding a well-deserved encore. It was a goal that came in 39′, on Ruggeri’s push: the outside man caught Ederson, who bagged the 2-0 with a slide. La Dea also deserved the tris, but risked big in the final: Carnesecchi avoided Bonny’s goal. A goal that arrived anyway in 49′, after Mihaila entered the field: Cancellieri burned Toloi and put in at the seven with his left. The match is reopened and Gasperini is furious, getting himself ejected for protests soon after ordering a double change: Brescianini and De Ketelaere on the pitch, half an hour’s rest for Retegui.Pecchia tries to react with a triple change, but his men are simply not in the game. Lookman gets his tic-tac-toe goal cancelled out, his second of the night, but he breaks through on 75′: assist from Cuadrado and winning insertion by the Nigerian. This time there is no offside and here is Atalanta’s 3-1, which doesn’t stop: Brescianini flirts with poker in a Dea that doesn’t lift its foot off the accelerator.It still ends 3-1 at the Tardini and it’s a golden result for Gasperini: his team hooks Inter at the top with 28 points, waiting for Napoli (26) and the Lazio-Fiorentina duo (25).
