After a night of brilliance at the Gewiss Stadium, Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman reflects on a truly special moment for Atalanta following their impressive 6-1 victory over Hellas Verona in their Serie A clash.
The Nigerian winger delivered a performance that left not just Serie A fans but also Nigerians buzzing after showing off a world-class performance.
The matchday nine clash showed how deadly La Dea's attack can be, with Lookman playing a key role in a win that moved the team to 4th place on the league table.
Not only did he score twice, but he also provided two assists, effectively orchestrating the whole attack.
His contributions included setting up Marten de Roon for the opening goal and assisting Charles De Ketelaere for the third.
The remarkable winger then netted both the fourth and fifth goals to wrap up an unforgettable evening.
