Nigerian sensation Ademola Lookman delivered a masterclass performance, scoring twice in the opening 30 minutes to guide Atalanta to a commanding 3-0 victory over Napoli. The Super Eagles forward opened the scoring with a brilliant strike in the 9th minute, capitalizing on loose defending, before doubling his tally with a powerful drive after cutting in from the left flank.
Lookman’s devastating display further cements his status as Serie A’s most impactful player in 2024, with his impressive tally now standing at 17 goals and 11 assists across all competitions. His performance was particularly noteworthy against a Napoli side that had maintained a formidable defensive record, conceding just two goals in their previous ten matches, a total Lookman matched in just 31 minutes.
The victory, completed by Reteggui’s late third goal, brings Atalanta within three points of league leaders Napoli. “This was a statement performance from both Lookman and Atalanta,” praised https://CKDMedia.ng, in their blog post. The result not only showcases Lookman’s brilliance but also signals Atalanta’s serious challenge for the top spots in Serie A.
The triumph underscores Lookman’s remarkable evolution into one of Serie A’s most feared attackers, with his combination of pace, precision, and clinical finishing proving too much for even the league’s most resolute defences. His performance against Napoli serves as a testament to his growing influence in Italian football and his vital importance to Atalanta’s ambitions this season.
