The history - making Calhanoglu and the unstoppable Lautaro: Atalanta vs. Inter, post - match facts

A very important victory. Thanks to a Calhanoglu penalty and a gem from Lautaro Martinez, Inter managed to get the better of Atalanta to continue their push at the top of the Serie A table. These are some of the most interesting facts to come out of the game at the Gewiss Stadium:

NERAZZURRI NUMBERS

Thanks to their victory over La Dea, Inter now sit on 28 points after eleven matches in Serie A, the fourth time they've reached this figure by this stage in the three-points-per-win era. Inter have gone ten Serie A games unbeaten against the Orobici and have never been on a longer run without losing to the team from Bergamo in the competition.

OUR UNSTOPPABLE CAPTAIN

Another fantastic finish from the captain. After bagging in Bergamo, Lautaro Martínez has now scored twelve league goals this season; the last Nerazzurri player to do better in the first eleven games of a Serie A campaign was Antonio Valentin Angelillo. Since January 2023, the Inter No.10 has netted the second-most goals across the top five European divisions. He currently has 26 to his name this calendar year.

BEST TURK IN HISTORY

With 36 goals to his name, Hakan Çalhanoglu has equalled Sükrü Gülesin as the highest-scoring Turk in Serie A history. Since 2017/18, the Nerazzurri midfielder has scored all ten of the penalties he's taken in the Italian top flight. So far this campaign, he's found the net four times, meaning he's already scored more league goals than he did in 2022/23 (three). The Nerazzurri No.20 is currently the second-most prolific midfielder in the league this season.

MKHITARYAN'S QUALITY

His constant contribution to Inter's attacking play is reflected by his personal statistics. Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been directly involved in four goals - two goals and two assists - in the opening eleven matchdays this season. The Armenian continues to produce performances of the highest quality.
