Ademola Lookman was on target as Atalanta secured a stunning 4-0 victory over Juventus at the Allianz Arena in Sunday’s Serie A clash. The dominant win keeps Atalanta firmly in the title race, sitting just three points behind league leaders Inter Milan.
Lookman sealed the emphatic victory in the 77th minute, capitalizing on a Juventus mistake in midfield. He sprinted towards goal and fired a shot that took a slight deflection off a defender before nestling in the back of the net.
Atalanta took the lead in the 29th minute when Mateo Retegui converted from the penalty spot. They doubled their advantage early in the second half as Marten de Roon found the net in the 46th minute.
Former Chelsea defender Davide Zappacosta also got on the scoresheet, contributing to Gianpiero Gasperini’s side’s impressive performance. Juventus struggled to contain Atalanta’s relentless attacking display throughout the match.
Lookman’s goal extended his fine run of form, making it four goals in his last four games. He has now scored 13 goals and provided five assists in 22 Serie A appearances this season.
With this result, Atalanta strengthens their position in third place, now sitting on 58 points. They remain in close pursuit of Inter Milan as the Serie A title race heats up.
The 27-year-old Nigerian international, Ademola Lookman has already surpassed his league tally from last season, where he managed 11 goals in 31 matches. His contributions have been crucial in Atalanta’s push for the title.
Gasperini’s men will be looking to maintain this momentum as they continue their quest for silverware, with Lookman proving to be a key player in their championship ambitions.
