Teun Koopmeiners scored his seventh goal of the season in the home match against Roma. And it was an important one, as it restored Atalanta’s two-goal lead over the Giallorossi and secured the three points a few minutes before the final whistle. The Dutch midfielder has already incremented his personal tally in terms of goals compared to his first season with Atalanta, in which he netted 4.

But Monday night’s goal at the Gewiss Stadium is even more significant. As reported by the Lega Serie A website, according to Opta statistics, Koopmeiners is the first Dutch midfielder to score seven goals in a single Serie A campaign since Clarence Seedorf in the 2007/08 season (seven goals for him as well).
