Ademola Lookman: What Super Eagles forward said after sneaking another man of the match
Nigeria Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman enjoyed his latest heroics for Atalanta in the Serie A.
Lookman's dramatic goal three minutes from time not only secured all three points for Atalanta but also extended their unbeaten run to an impressive 13 matches across all competitions, including nine consecutive wins.
While the Nigerian had a relatively quiet performance for large parts of the game, he remained a constant threat to the Milan defence, coming close to scoring on a couple of occasions.
However, the former Everton man made his mark when it mattered most, capitalising on a lapse in concentration from the Milan backline to sneak in a stunning header and net the winner.
After the match, Lookman was deservedly named the man of the match, and now, one commentator has taken to social media to heap praise on the in-form forward.
“A player not praised anywhere near enough,” TNT Sports' Adam Summerton wrote on X. 'For Atalanta he's scored 42 goals & provided 23 assists in 95 appearances. He's also scored a hat-trick in a major European final.'
This latest victory sees Lookman’s Atalanta leapfrog Napoli at the top of the Serie A table, with the Nigerian's eight goals and four assists in just 12 league appearances this season playing an important role in their flying start to the campaign.
