Lookman proves again he is a big-game player with late winner against AC Milan

Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman once again made a significant impact as Atalanta triumphed 2-1 over AC Milan in a Serie A match at Gewiss Stadium on Friday night. 

The action started in the 12th minute with a stunning goal from Atalanta.

De Roon delivered an excellent inswinging free-kick from the left, which former Milan player De Ketelaere met with a powerful header, easily beating his marker to put Atalanta ahead 1-0 against their rivals.

Just ten minutes later, AC Milan responded. Rafael Leão made a dynamic run down the left wing, lifted his head, and found Morata in the box.

The Spanish striker made no mistake, finishing from close range to equalize at 1-1 in Bergamo.

In a dramatic finish, Lookman scored the decisive goal in the 87th minute, converting a well-placed assist from Sead Kolasinac.

This season, Lookman has been a standout performer for Atalanta, netting ten goals and providing five assists in seventeen appearances across all competitions. 

His impressive contributions are vital as Atalanta vies for both the Serie A title and a spot in the Champions League knockout stage.

Meanwhile, Lookman's international teammate, Samuel Chukwueze came off the bench to replace USMNT star Yunus Musah in the 90th minute.
