Lookman and mother warm hearts
As ecstatic celebrations engulfed the Aviva Stadium, the UEFA Europa League's official Twitter account shared the heartwarming moment Lookman embraced his mother pitch-side.
With screams of joy and gratitude, the proud parent savoured every moment as she tightly hugged her son before the father joined in, himself overcome with emotion after the biggest night of his fledgling career.
The touching clip quickly went viral as Nigerian fans relished seeing one of their own script his name into European soccer's annals with a man-of-the-match display.
