What's the story

Edin Dzeko slotted a brace as Inter overcame hosts Atalanta 3-2 on matchday 15 of Serie A on Sunday. Atalanta drew an early lead, with Ademola Lookman making no errors from the penalty. Dzeko then struck twice to put Inter in an advantage. Atalanta accidentally conceded an own goal and fell short in the end despite a close-range header from Jose Palomino. Here's more.

220 top-flight goals for Dzeko

Dzeko scored twice, thereby racing to six Serie A goals in 2022-23. Overall, he owns 220 goals in the 491 top-flight appearances across Bundesliga, Premier League, and now Serie A.

How did the match pan out?

Atalanta were awarded a penalty after Stefan de Vrij brought down forward Duvan Zapata. Lookman made no mistake for the hosts. An unmarked Dzeko pulled one back for Inter. He added the second after the break. Palomino committed an own goal but made up for it minutes later. Goalkeeper Andre Onana made a stupendous save in the stoppage time, denying Atalanta an equalizer.
