Nigeria star Ademola Lookman ends goal drought in Atalanta’s draw against AC Milan

Nigeria international Ademola Lookman has ended his goal drought at Atalanta following his strike against AC Milan in the Italian top-flight.

Lookman, who is the reigning African Footballer of the Year netted his first goal of the campaign as his outfit settled for a 1-1 draw against AC Milan at the Gewiss Stadium.

The match, expected to be tightly contested, saw the Rossoneri get off to a blistering start, with Samuel Ricci firing home the opener in the fourth minute.

Putting on a stellar performance, the Nigeria international scored to level the score in the 35^th-minute mark for Atalanta. And with no additional goal, the game ended in a draw as boht teams went home with a point each.

Lookman, who has reclaimed his starting spot after a tough summer smashed the ball into the roof of the net after being set up by Mario Pasalic inside the box.

His goal is a massive relief for Lookman, who was recently urged to find his scoring boots by coach Ivan Juric.

Following Atalanta’s prior goal-less draw, Juric “called on Lookman to start scoring again.” Now that the goal drought is over, the streaky forward will aim to build on this performance and find consistent goal-scoring form for Atalanta.

Having ended his goal drought, the forward will be looking forward to maintain his form throughout the campaign.
