ROME (AP) — Charles De Ketelaere scored late and Atalanta returned to the top of Serie A with a 3-2 win over Empoli in the club’s record-extending 11th consecutive league victory. De Ketelaere scored two goals and African player of the year Ademola Lookman grabbed the other as Atalanta restored its two-point advantage over Napoli. Juventus ended a run of four straight draws in the league with a hard-fought 2-1 win at relegation-threatened Monza. Paulo Dybala scored twice and set up another goal to get Roma back on track with a comfortable 5-0 win over Parma.
