"The Partenopei reclaimed top spot - at least temporarily, ahead of Inter's meeting with AC Milan - with a deserved win at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. David Neres scored twice and Noa Lang was also on target as Napoli went 3-0 up before half-time, the first time they have netted three times in the first half of a Serie A match since February 2024 (versus Sassuolo)."
"We are satisfied with the victory and the way we achieved it, with a first half where we kept a high tempo, but we also maintained the high press after the break, and it was inevitable a team losing 3-0 would pour forward. We could have had more control of the ball in the second half, but it's fine, we beat a very strong Atalanta side."
Napoli returned to the top of Serie A with a 3-1 home win over Atalanta, moving ahead temporarily before Inter's match. David Neres scored twice and Noa Lang added a goal as Napoli led 3-0 at half-time, the first time they scored three first-half goals in Serie A since February 2024. Napoli extended a 17-match unbeaten home run in the league, their longest since a 2021 streak. Conte's side had faced criticism after a 2-0 defeat at Bologna, and Conte emphasised a strong, transparent rapport with his players and satisfaction with the victory and performance.
