Lookman shines for Atalanta

The Serie A side demolished their lowly counterparts to the tune of 10 unanswered goals, led by the unstoppable Lookman, who bagged a terrific brace.

Lookman opened the scoring for Atalanta in the 8th minute, capitalising on a perfectly weighted pass from Manchester United target Rasmus Højlund, to find the net with a fine finish.

After that, the floodgates were opened. Mario Pasalic doubled their advantage in the 19th minute before Lookman scored his second goal with a brilliant lob in the 28th minute.

Atalanta continued their dominance and added 7 more goals to finish with a staggering 10-0 victory and Lookman showed once again that he will be a hugely important figure for the club in the upcoming season.
