Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman was the star of the show as Atalanta dismantled Bayer Leverkusen to win the Europa League in a thrilling final.
Lookman, 26, opened the scoring when he reacted quickest to sweep home a low cross, before scoring a second that was placed to perfection from the edge of the box.
His third goal was the most impressive of the lot, as he found the top-right corner with his weaker foot, after a quick step-over.

He's only the 17th player to ever receive a perfect score from the French newspaper and only the 6th to score a hat-trick in a major European club final! 👏 pic.twitter.com/ktRd5OoOdy
Lookman joins an exclusive group of fortunate players who have received a perfect score, becoming the first since Erling Haaland.
Haaland earned a 10/10 after scoring five goals against RB Leipzig in the Champions League last season.
Lionel Messi has achieved this honor twice for Barcelona, against Leverkusen in 2010 and Arsenal in 2012.
On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo has never managed to accomplish this feat.
