De Ketelaere show. Atalanta also beats Empoli
The evening at the Gewiss Stadium did not start in a positive way for Atalanta (also thanks to the absence of De Roon). It is in fact theEmpoli to take the lead: a throw-in taken from the right finds Henderson totally free at the back, who crosses into the middle and finds it Colombo. The attacker beats Carnesecchi and scores his fourth goal in the championship. Atalanta's equalizer came in the 34th minute, with De Ketelaere doing well with a header to beat Vasquez. Before the break, the opening goal arrives, which bears the signature of Lookmanwho scored with his right foot after having collected Zaniolo's pass.
Atalanta tries to manage in the second half, but in the 55th minute, following a on-field reviewreferee Felciiani awards a penalty to Empoli after a contact between Grassi and Djimsiti. Sebastian Esposito he doesn't miss from eleven meters. The result leads the hosts to attack the third goal, which arrives in the 85th minute, again with De Ketelaere. Sixth brace of 2024 for the Belgian, who cuts horizontally across the area before finishing at the near post. A goal that delivers the eleventh consecutive victory to Atalanta, who will spend Christmas in command of the championship.
