Despite enduring a quiet outing for most of the match, Lookma was forced to be patient and wait for his moment. 

He came close to scoring twice but was denied by the Milan goalkeeper. Just when it seemed both teams would settle for a draw, Lookman took advantage of a lapse in concentration from the Milan defence in the 87th minute. He snuck in from a corner to deliver a stunning header that clinched the victory.
