Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman, on Monday night, 5 September, played a significant role in helping his club Atalanta record a 2-0 win over hosts Monza in Italian Serie A encounter.

Although the match was not an easy one for Ademola Lookman and his teammates, but they made sure in the second half that they got the maximum three points.

Ademola Lookman provided the assist that helped Atalanta to score their first goal in the 57th minute through Rasmus Hojlund.
