After hitting the post in the build-up to Joakim Maehle's headed goal three minutes before halftime, Lookman doubled the advantage with a beauty.

Lookman has outscored international teammate, Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, Inter Milan's World Cup winner with Argentina Lautaro Martínez, Manchester City's Norway goal machine Erling Haaland and Monaco's Wissam Ben Yedder, who are all on four goals.
