Atalanta faced Lazio in a fiercely contested Serie A clash, aiming to maintain their unbeaten streak and impressive title challenge.

Lookman showed his skills by assisting the decisive equaliser in the 88th minute, denying Lazio an important home victory in their final game of the year.

The club's social media account hailed him as a "serial winner," highlighting his consistent contributions on the pitch across competitions for La Dea.

The match was also a significant moment for Lookman as it was his first encounter this season against fellow Nigerian Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, who led Lazio’s midfield.

Both players made their marks, but it was Lookman who stole the show with his late-game heroics for the visitors.

Lazio initially took control of the match, with Dele-Bashiru scoring a stunning volley in the 27th minute after being set up by Nicolo Rovella.

The home side held onto their lead until the final moments, when Lookman broke free and set up Marco Brescianini for a simple tap-in, much to the dismay of the Lazio fans.

This assist was Lookman’s fifth in Serie A and sixth across all competitions this season, solidifying his role as a key player for Atalanta in their quest for the Serie A title.

His performance statistics against Lazio were impressive, including one chance created, one big chance, and two shots on target, all while maintaining a pass accuracy of 71%.

The Super Eagles star remains a vital asset for both his club and country, and will look to build on his latest outing when Atalanta take on defending champions Inter next.
