Kolo Muani scores on debut for Juventus but Lukaku inspires Napoli to comeback win

Lukaku inspires Napoli comeback

Anguissa equalized after the break with a header on a play that was begun by Lukaku and led to a cross from Matteo Politano that Anguissa nodded in.

Lukaku then set up Scott McTominay inside the area before the Scotland midfielder was fouled by Manuel Locatelli to set up a penalty for Lukaku.

As usual, Lukaku paused in his run up, watched as Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio fell to his left and then deposited his spot kick into the other side of the net.

It was Lukaku’s 200th goal in Europe’s top five leagues.

Retegui brace earns Atalanta comeback win

Mateo Retegui scored a second-half brace to boost his league-leading total to 16 goals as Atalanta won at Como.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s side remained six points behind Napoli, which beat Atalanta in Bergamo last weekend.

Napoli was hosting Juventus later and defending champion Inter visits relegation-threatened Lecce on Sunday.

After winning 11 straight, Atalanta had gone winless in four matches entering the game in Como.

Nico Paz put Como ahead on the half-hour mark. Retegui equalized by redirecting in a cross from substitute Marco Brescianini with one touch in the 56th and then put Atalanta ahead 14 minutes later by redirecting another cross from Brescianini, this time with two touches.

Como, which is 13th, won 3-2 at Atalanta in September.

Atalanta’s emblematic midfielder Marten de Roon exited during the break after a knock to the head.
