ATALANTA GO PAST NAPOLI IN ITALIAN LEAGUE

Milan, July 3: Atalanta beat Napoli 2-0 in Italian league to keep up the pressure on Inter Milan in the fight for third place.

Mario Paalic and Robin Gosens scored in the second half to extend Atalanta’s club record tally to 82 league goals this season, in 29 matches.

It was Atalanta’s seventh successive Serie A win and saw Gian Piero Gasperini’s team move back to within four points of Inter, which beat Brescia 6-0 on Wednesday.

It halted a run of five straight league wins for Napoli, which also won the Italian Cup last month.

Napoli remained sixth, three points below Roma which lost 2-0 against relegation-threatened Udinese.
