Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman was at his best mettle as he scored two goals and bagged two assists in Atalanta’s 6-1 thrashing of Verona in Saturday’s Serie A.

The Nigerian international who was making his sixth appearance, has netted four goals this ongoing season in Serie A.

It took Atalanta just six minutes to open the scoring here. Ademola Lookman’s cutback to the edge of the box was slid in by Marten de Roon, and La Dea built on that momentum to double their lead inside nine minutes after Mateo Retegui pounced on a loose ball at the edge of the box with a pinpoint side-footed finish.

The hosts were in a rampant mood, notching a third in the 14th minute through Charles De Ketelaere, who showed tricky footwork on the right flank before cutting inside and curling his effort into the far corner.

Atalanta added a fourth and fifth through Lookman.

The Nigerian drove into the box with pace and power before burying a finish and then made it two goals and two assists for himself in the opening 45 minutes by finishing off a swift team move with a simple tap-in.

Amin Sarr scored a consolation goal in the 42nd minute and Atalanta took their foot off the gas after the break, only adding to their score once through a Retegui tap-in.
