Ademola Lookman expressed his satisfaction following Atalanta’s hard-fought 2-1 victory over AC Milan at the Gewiss Stadium, a result that extended Gian Piero Gasperini’s team’s winning streak in Serie A to nine matches.
The match began with a swift opener from Charles De Ketelaere, who rose above Theo Hernandez to head in a precise free-kick delivery from Marten de Roon.
AC Milan responded swiftly, leveling the score ten minutes later when Rafael Leão broke the offside trap and selflessly set up Álvaro Morata for a clinical finish.
However, it was Lookman who delivered the decisive blow, heading in the winning goal just three minutes from full-time.
Speaking to Sky Sport Italia after the match, Lookman highlighted the significance of the result. “It’s a very important game against a strong team.
We played well tonight, three big points, and we continue like this,” he said.
Lookman emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and teamwork as the season progresses. His standout performance against Milan adds to what has already been a stellar campaign.
The 27-year-old Nigerian forward has now netted 10 goals and provided five assists in 17 appearances across all competitions for Atalanta.
The victory reinforces Atalanta’s position as strong contenders in Serie A, with Lookman emerging as a pivotal figure in their success.
As the Bergamo-based side aims to sustain their momentum, Lookman’s form will undoubtedly be central to their ambitions.
