Ademola Lookman continued his sensational season with another crucial goal, this time helping Atalanta to a 3-1 away win over Parma on Saturday that sent them to the summit of Serie A.
Softfootball understands the strike marked Lookman’s seventh league goal of the campaign, extending a run of form that has made him one of the most talked-about attackers in Italian football this season.
The Nigerian winger has been central to Atalanta’s title credentials, combining goals with consistent creative output for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.
Atalanta’s away form has been a key factor in their surprise push at the top of the table, and Lookman’s continued sharpness in front of goal only strengthens their case as genuine contenders.
With Serie A’s traditional heavyweights stumbling in patches this season, Atalanta’s consistency, powered in large part by their in-form Nigerian international, has turned heads across the division.
Lookman will now look to carry that momentum into the club’s next fixture, with Gasperini likely to lean heavily on his top scorer as the season reaches its business end.
