Atalanta secures its eighth consecutive win with a 2-0 victory over Roma. Nicolo Zaniolo’s goal and celebration against his former club ignite emotions at the Stadio Olimpico.
Atalanta extended their incredible winning streak to eight consecutive victories in Serie A with a dominant 2-0 win over Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. Goals from Marten de Roon and Nicolo Zaniolo secured the victory, keeping Atalanta just two points behind league leaders Napoli.
The Bergamo side has been in red-hot form, with an unbeaten streak of 13 matches across all competitions, including 11 wins and two draws. Notable results during this run include a 3-0 dismantling of Napoli away and a Champions League triumph over Stuttgart.
The second goal came from former Roma star Nicolo Zaniolo, who was met with loud jeers when subbed on in the 63rd minute. Zaniolo silenced the hostile crowd with a goal and an emphatic celebration that only added salt to the wounds of Roma fans, who are enduring a dismal season.
