Super Lookman helps Atalanta claim big win against Torino

Lookman was unsung in midweek, and he continued with his brilliance against Torino

Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman scored for Atalanta to help them to a handsome 3-0 victory over Torino in their penultimate game of the season, Soccernet.ng reports.

Atalanta returned to action in Serie A on Sunday following their triumph over Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final last Wednesday.

Lookman was unsung for Atalanta in midweek, and coach Gian Pero Gasperini gave him a starting shirt again against the Bulls.

Atalanta dominated the fixture from the blast of the whistle but they had to wait until the 26th before they got the lead courtesy of Gianluca Scamacca.

Lookman had a chance to score in the 41st minute, but he fluffed his lines as his shot just flew over the bar. However, he was not to be denied in the 43rd minute, as he reached quickest to a rebound in the box and calmly slotted home to make it 2-0 to Atalanta.

The second half was pretty balanced, but Torino showed more urgency as they were trying to pull one back and give themselves a fighting chance. However, Atalanta were stubborn and held on.

Mario Pasalic scored the third from to spot to give La Dea a three-goal cushion after 71 minutes. It eventually ended 3-0 to La Dea at the Gewiss Stadium.

The win means that Atalanta will not finish lower than fourth this season. They will play Fiorentina in the final game of the season.
