Ademola Lookman increases season tally but Atalanta failed to leapfrog Juventus in Fiorentina defeat
Ademola Lookman's goal was insufficient, as Atalanta suffered a 3-2 defeat to Fiorentina.
Atalanta vs Fiorentina
Sunday’s match against Fiorentina at the Gewiss Stadium was a rescheduled gameweek 29 fixture that was moved because La Viola director Joe Barone took ill before kickoff and the match was postponed. Barone passed on days later.
La Dea’s progress to the Europa League final and Fiorentina advancing to the Conference League decider meant the game could not be played before the regular season’s culmination.
Sunday’s match ended in a 3-2 defeat for Atalanta, although it did not move the needle regarding their final position, even if victory would have seen the Bergamo outfit finish ahead of Juventus.

What feat did Ademola Lookman achieve?
Lookman’s 11th goal of the season had seen him bring Gian Piero Gasperini's men level, and he set up Giorgio Scalvini for Atalanta's second leveller after Nicolas Gonzalez put Fiorentina 2-1 up, only for Andrea Belotti to score just before the interlude.

Lookman’s goals came against Cagliari, Genoa, Napoli, AC Milan, Lecce, Bologna, Empoli, Torino and Fiorentina, with his only road strike netted in matchday four’s trip to the Viola.
