In a highly anticipated clash at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Lookman opened the scoring just 10 minutes into the match with a brilliant volley, expertly set up by Charles De Ketelaere.
He doubled Atalanta's lead in the 31st minute with a stunning long-range strike that left Napoli's goalkeeper Alex Meret with no chance.
This performance not only halted Napoli’s unbeaten streak but also showcased Lookman's exceptional form. That performance earned the Eagles star a deserved man of the match award.
This latest award marks Lookman's second Man of the Match recognition in just three games, following his involvement in four goals during Atalanta's previous match against Hellas Verona, where they scored two and assisted another goals.
His current season statistics are impressive: he has now netted six goals and provided four assists in just eight Serie A matches, making him one of the league's most impactful players.
Lookman's performance against Napoli further solidifies his status as a key player for Atalanta and enhances his candidacy for more individual accolades.
He recently finished 14th in the voting for the prestigious Ballon d'Or, the third-highest finish by a Nigerian, reminding him of his growing prominence on the international stage.
With this victory, Atalanta sit third place in the Serie A standings with 22 points, just three points behind Napoli. The win is crucial as Atalanta aims to challenge for the title this season, and Lookman’s contributions will be vital as they continue their campaign.
