Okoye unable to stop Lookman as Atalanta beat Udinese to go top of Serie A

Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman won the battle of Super Eagles stars in the Serie A this weekend as his La Dea side beat Udinese featuring Maduka Okoye 2-1.

Although Lookman could not add to his five goals in the previous four games, Atalanta were still able to dig deep and secure their sixth win on the bounce in Serie A.

Try as he did, Okoye was helpless to stop the Atalanta train, conceding two second half goals from Mario Pasalic and an own goal by Souleymane Isaak Toure, as La Dea overturned Hassane Kamara’s opening goal for Udinese to rally to a crucial victory.

The win temporarily puts Atalanta top of Serie A with 25 points, ahead of Napoli on goal difference although the Partenopei have played one game less.
