“It was a big performance" - Ademola Lookman delighted with UCL win

Atalanta got their season back on track as new coach Raffaele Palladino, who had only recently replaced Ivan Juric, finally got a win under his belt.

Following the weekend's 3-1 defeat to Napoli, Atalanta was under pressure to bounce back with a win, and they did so, defeating Frankfurt 3-0 on Wednesday night.

Ademola Lookman was the star man, netting a goal and registering an assist. The Nigerian opened the scoring on the hour mark, latching onto a precise cross from Charles De Ketelaere.

Just minutes later, the winger turned provider, setting up Ederson for the second goal.

The comfortable victory propelled Atalanta to 10th position in the competition standings.

Reflecting on the team's performance, Lookman emphasized the significance of the result, particularly away from home.

“It’s a big performance for the team. It’s a good victory away from home,” Lookman told UEFA official website.

“In the first half we had a few chances, and coming out in the second half, we knew we had to create chances again.”
