Atalanta Wins 11th Straight Serie A Match

Atalanta reclaimed the top position in Serie A after a dramatic 3-2 victory over Empoli, thanks to Charles De Ketelaere's late winner. De Ketelaere scored twice, with his decisive goal coming just four minutes before the end, ensuring Atalanta's 11th consecutive league win and a two-point lead over Napoli. Ademola Lookman, the recently crowned African player of the year, also contributed to the scoreline, helping Atalanta overturn an early lead by Empoli's Lorenzo Colombo. Empoli, despite being mid-table, provided stiff competition with Sebastiano Esposito equalizing from the penalty spot. Atalanta's coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, praised the team's spirit, expressing hope for continued success into 2025. The victory was a fitting tribute to Atalanta's growing winning habit and their ambition to secure a historic Serie A title.
