Atalanta had a slow start with 13 points from nine games, their worst since 2018/19. Udinese climbed above them with their first clean sheet at the Stadio Friuli this term.
Despite an evenly-matched start, Udinese produced attacking threats through Nicolo Zaniolo. Atalanta's Marco Carnesecchi dealt with a speculative strike, and Arthur Atta dragged an effort wide.
