Atalanta made it six wins in a row with a 2-1 home victory over Udinese on Sunday, and are now provisionally level on points with leaders Napoli, who travel to Milan to face Inter on Matchday 12 of the Italian top flight. Having beaten Napoli 3-0 last Sunday, the Bergamo club overcame Udinese’s opening goal from Hassane Kamara (45th+3), thanks firstly to a 56th-minute strike from Croatian midfielder Mario Pasalic, then to an own goal from Issak Touré (60th).

The northern Italian club, with 25 points, is unbeaten since the end of September in both Serie A and the Champions League. Napoli will have the chance to get back on track this evening (8.45pm), in a top-of-the-table clash with Inter, currently 3rd on 24 points.
