Inter extends lead with win over Atalanta
Serie A leader Inter Milan ensured it would remain top of the table for another week with a 2-1 victory over Atalanta under heavy rain at Gewiss Stadium.
While the hosts had the better early chances, it was Hakan Calhanoglu’s spot-kick that ultimately broke the deadlock for the league leaders, his 36th goal in the Italian top flight enough to bring him level with Sukru Gulesin as Turkey’s all-time top scorer in Italy's top flight.
Inter captain Lautaro Martinez extended his side’s advantage after the break before Gianluca Scamacca swiftly pulled one back.
Atalanta substitute Rafael Toloi was sent off for a second yellow late on, while Marten de Roon had a chance to level with a late header, but the visitors walked away with all three points.
