Atalanta suffers against Empoli but wins again, beating the Tuscans 3-2 in the last minutes. After just over ten minutes, Empoli took advantage of a defensive sleep by the Dea, who lost Henderson to a lateral foul. All alone the blue midfielder can look to the center and support Colombo: winning deviation from the Milan school boy and 0-1 at the Gewiss Stadium.
A bad Atalanta equalized ten minutes from the break: Charles De Ketelaere scored. In the most complicated moment, here is the shock that puts Gasperini's team back in the game. Cross from Zappacosta, dirty work from Zaniolo in capturing the defense's attention and a diving header from the attacking midfielder who scores the 1-1. As soon as injury time begins, Ademola Lookman decides to enter the match and overturns the result. With his goal number nine, so far, for the fresh African Ballon d'Or: cross to the center, Zaniolo's block, control and winning right-footed shot from the Nigerian for the 2-1. In a complicated first half of the game, in which Lookman himself had been among the worst, here is his scratch: in the 45th minute Atalanta are ahead.
In the 58th minute Empoli equalized on a penalty kick. After a very long check for a contact in the penalty area between Grassi and Djimsiti, the VAR calls the referee Feliciani: for the referee it is a penalty. Esposito shows up from the spot: very cold, he shoots centrally and it makes it 2-2. In the 86th minute, Charles De Ketelaere takes care of it: he takes the ball on the right, converges in the center, dances on the left foot and surprises Vasquez by crossing the shot, going to the first post and not the second. The 3-2.
