With a win against Charles De Ketelaere’s Atalanta, defending champion Napoli has claimed first place in Serie A. Without Romelu Lukaku or Kevin De Bruyne, but with Noa Lang. The ex-Bruges player made his very first for Napoli.

Noa Lang has not yet received much playing time in Naples, but tonight he was allowed to appear in the starting line-up.

After two goals from Brazilian Neres, the left winger demanded his moment. From close range he headed the 3-0 into the goal.

A big relief for Lang: the former Club Brugge player was exuberant in his joy.

Romelu Lukaku also enjoyed it. Napoli’s injured striker jumped straight into the stands when Lang scored.

For fellow international Charles De Ketelaere it was another setback with Atalanta. Under new coach Palladino there was no more than an honor saver (via Scamacca): 3-1.
