The match ended 2-1, and AC Milan had to admit Atalanta greatness this time. Ademola Lookman became the difference in the match, thanks to his goal in the 87th minute. The additional 3 points made Atalanta successfully take over the top of the standings from Napoli, and conversely, AC Milan efforts to improve their ranking were again hampered. If Lazio beat Napoli again like they did in the Italian Cup, then it would make Atalanta stay at the top of the standings with a difference of 2 points.
Unexpectedly, Atalanta performed impressively this season, and now they deserve to be called Scudetto challengers. Meanwhile, AC Milan since parting ways with Stefano Pioli, their performance has become more uncertain in the hands of Paulo Fonseca, I think AC Milan management needs to look for a new coaching candidate to save the team from a worse slump.
After winning the Europa League the previous season, Atalanta transformed into an unstoppable by winning their games, and I have to say that they are among the best teams in the Seria A this season. In the Seria A, Atalanta won nine consecutive games. This season, Atalanta has defeated both Roma and Napoli, which was amazing. However, considering how good Atalanta's performance has been this season, I wasn't shocked that they were able to defeat AC Milan at home. Since AC Milan destroyed Real Madrid in the Champions League, a lot of people started to believe them. I'm not impressed because Ac Milan hasn't been serious in their league games this season.
Ac Milan has 22 points from 14 league games this season, while they have only won six of them. The Ac Milan management stated at the beginning of the season that they would not fire Fonseca regardless of the difficulties they face, so I am not sure whether they would search for a new coach at this time. If AC Milan doesn't improve on this in their future games, they won't be able to compete in any European tournaments next season.
