De Ketelaere never fulfilled his promise at Milan and was loaned to Atalanta for this season. He scored two goals on Sunday to help Atalanta beat rivals Lazio 3-1 and consolidate fourth spot.
The 22-year-old converted a penalty in the first half and showed his confidence in the second with a delicious feint past his marker before driving a shot into the nearside bottom corner to put Atalanta 3-0 up.
That took De Ketelaere’s tally to seven in his past nine matches. He didn’t score at all for Milan last season.
Mario Pašalić scored the opener for a dominant Atalanta side. Lazio were looking to replace Atalanta in fourth but didn’t really get into gear until the final 10 minutes, with Ciro Immobile converting a penalty in the 84th.
It is a tight battle for fourth and Atalanta moved three points above Bologna and four above Roma and Napoli, with Fiorentina and Lazio a point further back.
