Atalanta Bari have secured their first win of the Serie A season after De Ketelaere scored two goals in a brace against Roma on Sunday.
The Belgian international midfielder was on target twice as Atalanta took full advantage of Roma's defensive errors to claim all three points at Stadio Olimpico.
De Ketelaere's brace came just minutes apart in the second half and gave Atalanta a comfortable lead over their opponents.
The victory is the first for Atalanta since they returned from a short break due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the result, Atalanta now sit top of the table with 26 points, two clear ahead of second-placed Juventus who lost to Inter Milan earlier in the day.
De Ketelaere's brace has been crucial to Atalanta's recent form, having previously netted in both legs of the Europa League quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt.
His performances have earned him praise from his teammates and fans alike, with many believing he could be the missing piece that will take Atalanta to the next level.
However, it remains to be seen if De Ketelaere can continue his impressive form in the upcoming matches as Atalanta face tougher opponents like AC Milan and Lazio in the coming weeks.
In conclusion, De Ketelaere's brace against Roma has been a much-needed boost for Atalanta and their chances of securing a place in the Champions League next season. With De Ketelaere continuing to impress, there is every chance that Atalanta could make a strong push for silverware this season.
