Super Eagles winger, Ademola Lookman, continued his fine form with a decisive goal to secure Atalanta’s 2-1 victory over AC Milan in an enthralling Serie A clash on Friday.
The Super Eagles winger’s 87th-minute header marked his 10th goal of the season, complementing five assists across 18 appearances in all competitions.
Atalanta opened the scoring early, with Charles De Ketelaere heading in Marten de Roon’s free-kick against his former club.
AC Milan responded swiftly, as Rafael Leão’s brilliant run and delivery set up Álvaro Morata for a close-range equaliser.
However, Lookman’s late heroics, losing his marker Emerson Royal to connect with a pinpoint cross, ensured La Dea extended their club-record streak to nine consecutive Serie A wins.
The result underscores Atalanta’s exceptional form and Lookman’s pivotal role in their success.
