Roma v Atalanta: the stats report
First Atalanta goal in the Serie A for Nicolò Zaniolo
With Atalanta defeating Roma 2-0 at the Olimpico stadium on MD14 the Nerazzurri have claimed their 8th consecutive league win and thus extended a streak of 9 undefeated games (namely, 8 victories and 1 draw). As registered by Stats Perform's Opta Facts, for the first time in their history Atalanta have claimed 30+ points (31 to be exact) in their opening 14 Serie A games whilst also setting a new scoring best with 36 nets bagged in their first 14 league games. To put the team's figures into a broader perspective, no other team in the Italian top flight has claimed more points since the onset of October than the Nerazzurri (28).
Opening the scoring in Rome, Marten de Roon has now reached an offensive tally of 3 nets bagged, thus setting a new personal record in a single Serie A season.
After making his absolute scoring debut in the UCL game against Stuttgart, the Olimpico Game marked Nicolò Zaniolo's very first Serie A goal as a Nerazzurro instead.
Moving on to further individual career milestones: while Marco Carnesecchi celebrated his 50th Atalanta appearance in all competitions, Éderson and Raoul Bellanova have played their 100th Serie A contention considering also their previous stints away from Bergamo: namely, with Salernitana for the former and donning the shirts of Torino, Inter and Cagliari for the latter.
Closing off with the individual figures provided by the Serie A's official Match report, while Lazar Samardžić leads the way from most shots fired (3) and successful dribbles (2), Éderson is the on-field specimen for both the most successful passes on the offensive third (12) and key passes overall (6). Lastly, Matteo Ruggeri and Zaniolo take the centrefold for most goal chances (4) and shots on target (2) respectively.
