ELMAS GIVES MAZZARRI WINNING START ON NAPOLI RETURN
Eljif Elmas’ late strike gave Walter Mazzarri a winning start to his second spell at Napoli as they beat Atalanta 2-1 in Serie A.
Mazzarri, who replaced Rudi Garcia in the Partenopei dugout earlier this month, thought the reigning champions had taken a 33rd-minute lead, only for Amir Rrahmani’s header to be disallowed for offside.
But Napoli did break the deadlock just before half-time when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia headed home Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s cross.
Atalanta responded well after the break and equalised in the 53rd minute as Ademola Lookman glanced in an inviting Hans Hateboer centre, before Mario Pasalic was denied by the offside flag as the hosts threatened to complete the turnaround.
However, Napoli snatched all three points 11 minutes from time as Marco Carnesecchi's poor clearance ricocheted to Victor Osimhen, who teed up Elmas to seal victory.

GOAL!!! ATALANTA 1-2 NAPOLI (ELMAS)
The visitors regain the lead and it is a nightmare moment for Carnesecchi!
His poor clearance ricochets to the edge of the Atalanta penalty area, where Osimhen does well to help the ball onto Elmas.
The latter has time and space to slot past the goalkeeper from close range.

ATALANTA ASKING QUESTIONS
The hosts continue to generate the greater attacking threat.
De Ketelaere's attempted shot deflects dangerously across the six-yard area, but beyond the reach of Lookman at the far post.

KOLASINAC DOWN
There is a brief concern for Atalanta as the defender stays down and is in need of attention.
Thankfully for the hosts, he eventually returns to his feet and can continue.

CHANCE
Atalanta look the side most likely to grab the third goal of this contest.
De Ketelaere meets Hateboer's cross, but Gollini does well to keep out his header.

NO GOAL!
Atalanta think they have taken the lead as Pasalic plays a neat one-two with Koopmeiners before sweeping home.
But the joy is short-lived as the latter had strayed marginally offside before playing the return pass.
