Ademola Lookman continued his fine form for Atalanta with a goal in their 2-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart on Wednesday night in the UEFA Champions League.
The Super Eagles forward struck in the 51st minute, further enhancing his impressive run of form.
The goal came after Odilon Kossounou won the ball high up the pitch, and Charles De Ketelaere showed excellent vision to deliver a perfect pass into the box.
Lookman was in the right place at the right time, taking the ball first-time to slot it home and score his fifth goal in the last four games.
With his goal, Lookman continues to cement his status as one of Serie A’s most influential players, leading the league in goal contributions across all competitions in 2024.
So far this season, the 27-year-old has scored eight goals and provided five assists in just 13 appearances.
Atalanta’s victory was sealed late when Nicolo Zaniolo capitalized on a defensive error from Stuttgart, calmly finishing to make it 2-0.
Lookman’s outstanding performances have earned him a spot in the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Rwanda and Benin.
