Atalanta 2 Empoli 1 : Ebuehi on target, Lookman's goal drought extends to eight games

Tyronne Ebuehi was on the scoresheet for Empoli in their 2-1 loss to Atalanta at the Gewiss stadium on matchday 27 of the Serie A involving both sides while Ademola Lookman was a late substitute for Atalanta. 

Ebuehi gave the away side the lead in the 44th minute when the ball nicely fell into his path and the right wing-back made no mistake in burying the ball at the back of the net. 

It was the second goal of the season for the Nigerian international.

Dutch midfielder, Marten De Roon restored parity in the 58th minute for Atalanta from a well-taken shot. 

Rasmus Højlund would score the winner for Atalanta in the 86th minute to record Atalanta's first win in 5 games.

Lookman started from the bench for the second consecutive game and didn't come on until the 76th minute when Giorgio Scalvini came off for him. 

However, he couldn't influence the game though he was on the winning side and he is yet to score in his last eight games in all competitions. 

Lookman's last goal was against Sampdoria on January 28, 2023.
