Atalanta are the new Serie A leaders after 9 consecutive victories

Atalanta are the new Serie A leaders after winning nine consecutive games, putting them two points clear of Napoli, with Inter, Fiorentina and Lazio all crowded together.

Never before in their history had the Bergamo boys been at the top of the Serie A table after 15 rounds.

The race for the Scudetto is only getting tighter after the Week 15 fixtures, although it must be said that Inter and Fiorentina still have a game in hand after their head-to-head was suspended due to Edoardo Bove’s medical emergency.

If either of those teams were to win, they’d still only be level with Atalanta.

Napoli knew they needed a victory this evening to keep up with Atalanta, but were instead beaten 1-0 at home by Lazio thanks to a Gustav Isaksen curler into the far top corner.

It leaves them two points adrift of La Dea, and only one clear of the trio of Inter, Fiorentina and Lazio.

Juventus are falling further behind following a series of stalemates, now seven points off Atalanta.
