Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman has reacted to Atalanta’s victory over Serie A leaders Napoli.
The forward who bagged a brace in the encounter says Atalanta put up a big performance to clinch the away victory.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side defeated the league leaders 3-0 in their Serie A clash on Sunday afternoon.
Lookman played a crucial role in the victory, netting twice, with substitute Matteo Retegui also on target.

The Nigeria international said the team can be happy with their performance in the game.
“It was a big performance from the team, we’re happy and three points away to the leaders is never easy, so we’re proud of that,” he told DAZN.
Ripples Nigeria reported last Monday of Lookman’s presence at the 2024 Ballon d’Or, where he secured 14th place thanks largely to his hat-trick in the Europa League Final against Bayer Leverkusen last season.
The winger said the main focus is to keep helping the team and not individual accolade.
“Individual achievements are part of football, but this is a team game, my squad helps me a lot. I continue working and try to help the team when I can,” he added.
