[Sports] Atalanta stay top of Serie A with late equaliser at Lazio

[Jimmy.]

A late equaliser from Marco Brescianini kept Atalanta top of Serie A with a point at Lazio.

Fisayo Dele-Bashiru's first-half goal for the hosts looked to have Lazio on course for victory before Brescianini scored in the 88th minute.

The result does mean Atalanta's streak of 11 consecutive victories is at an end.

However, Gian Piero Gasperini's side are still top of the table with 41 points, one ahead of Inter Milan who won 3-0 at Cagliari earlier on Saturday, while Lazio are fourth.
 

The Rome side dominated the first half and were rewarded in the 27th minute when Nicolo Rovella played a high through ball to Dele-Bashiru.

The former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder cut inside and volleyed home.

But Atalanta snatched a point late on when Ademola Lookman found Brescianini to score from close range.

It moved Atalanta back above Inter in the Italian top flight, though the Milan side have a game in hand.

Second-half goals from Alessandro Bastoni, Lautaro Martinez and Hakan Calhanoglu gave Inter their fifth straight league win.
