Atalanta Extends Serie A Winning Streak to Ten

Chelsea's winning streak in the Women's Super League was halted with a surprising 1-1 draw against Leicester City, prompting manager Sonia Bompastor to express disappointment over her team's lack of intensity and efficiency, especially in the first half. Despite dominating possession and accumulating 28 shots, Chelsea only managed to equalize through Wieke Kaptein after Leicester's Missy Goodwin had initially scored. Meanwhile, Atalanta achieved a club record with their 10th consecutive Serie A victory, narrowly defeating Cagliari 1-0 thanks to a goal from substitute Nicolo Zaniolo. Atalanta's goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi played a crucial role in maintaining the scoreline, making several key saves during a challenging first half. The win solidified Atalanta's position at the top of the Serie A table, five points ahead of Napoli, while Cagliari remained just above the relegation zone. Both teams demonstrated resilience, with Chelsea needing to step up their performance to contend for the title and Atalanta continuing their impressive run under Gian Piero Gasperini.
