In the match held at Gewiss Stadium, Atalanta entered the game needing a victory to close the gap on Napoli in the title race.

After an exciting first half that saw three goals scored, Atalanta initially took the lead through Mateo Retegui. However, Napoli quickly responded with goals from Matteo Politano and Scott McTominay to take a 2-1 lead at halftime.

Lookman’s leveller came in the second half when he executed a brilliant nutmeg on defender Giovanni Di Lorenzo and manoeuvred past three more Napoli players before slotting the ball into the bottom corner.

Unfortunately for Atalanta, former Inter Milan star Romelu Lukaku scored shortly after the Nigerian's goal, sealing an important Napoli victory.

Following the match, renowned Nigerian photojournalist Pooja Media highlighted Lookman's movements, stating,

"Ademola Lookman's movements must be drafted to be taught in academies across the world. That's massive baby."

Pooja’s sentiment resonated with many fans who recognised the talent and potential of the Super Eagles star.

Despite the loss, Lookman's performance was a bright spot for Atalanta, with the African Player of the Year scoring his 10th goal of the season in the Serie A.

Up next for Lookman and his Atalanta teammates is a clash against Sturm Graz in the Champions League, where they will be looking to put an end to their four-match winless streak.
