Ademola Lookman's stellar performance against Juventus has garnered extensive praise from the Italian media.

Atalanta travelled to Turin to thrash Juventus 4-0 on Sunday night in the Serie A as they return to winning ways.

The visitors stunned Juventus with a victory, reigniting their Scudetto hopes with Lookman leading the charge.

The Super Eagles striker scored the fourth goal of the game to cap the team's effort and bring his tally to 50 goals for Atalanta since joining the Italian outfit in 2022.

Italian media hails Lookman’s performance

Lookman's dazzling performance garnered widespread praise from the leading Italian press, who highlighted his pivotal role in Atalanta's resounding victory.

La Gazzetta dello Sport stated, “Not relentless at shooting first and unlucky at the post, but he creates the 2-0 and discards Vlahovic’s gift.”

Corriere della Sera added, “In the end, he even scores, but he had already shown his skills in pressing and assaulting.”

Corriere dello Sport went even further, describing him as “a thorn in Juve’s side at full speed and full dribbling. 

“He repeatedly tries to score, comes close three times before putting the exclamation point on the Goddess’ great night.”

Tuttosport echoed this sentiment, saying, "He's scary in tight spaces, and so is his speed of execution. 

“He has a hand in all of La Dea’s goals, until he too hits the back of the net, after hitting the post and Di Gregorio’s miracles in the first half.”
