ROME (Reuters) – Atalanta’s winning streak in Serie A ended with a 1-1 draw at Lazio on Saturday, as Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s first-half goal for the hosts was cancelled out by a late equaliser from Marco Brescianini.
The result ended Atalanta’s streak of 11 consecutive victories but Gian Piero Gasperini’s side are still top of the table with 41 points, one ahead of Inter Milan who won 3-0 at Cagliari earlier on Saturday.
Lazio are fourth with 35 points.
After dominating the first half, Lazio were rewarded in the 27th minute when Nicolo Rovella played a high through ball to Dele-Bashiru, who cut inside the box and sent a bouncing volley into the net to break the deadlock.
The final moments were a thriller, with several chances for both sides, but Atalanta earned their draw when Brescianini easily tapped in an open goal from short distance two minutes before full-time, after Ademola Lookman served him from the left past Lazio keeper Ivan Provedel.
