Brace hero Ademola Lookman inspired Atalanta to a massive win over Napoli with a first-half brace in a 3-0 success in the Maradona on Sunday afternoon.
League leaders Napoli had won six straight games heading into this weekend, and were the bookies favorites to pick up the maximum points in their own backyard.
Napoli had won four straight of this fixture before losing 3-0 at home in their most recent meeting back in March, when Lookman was a second-half substitute.
This time however, the Nigeria international was heavily involved, scoring two times in the opening 30 minutes to set the tune for an impressive win.

Brace hero Ademola Lookman brace sends Atalanta second
The forward opened the scoring in the tenth minute, volleying home a flick from teammate Charles de Ketelaere for his fifth league goal of the season.
He doubles his and the visitors’ lead in the 31st minute on the counter. De Ketelaere again got the assist for the goal, setting up the CAF Player of the Year award front-runner to make it 2-0.
Brace hero Ademola Lookman was withdrawn in the 76th minute before substitute Mateo Retegui scored deep in added time to seal a 3-0 win, which temporarily sends Gian Piero Gasperini’s side to second on the log.
The former RB Leipzig man has now contributed to ten Serie A goals this season, and 12 across all club competitions.
