Ademola Lookman was in action as Atletico Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 3-0 in an away fixture in the Spanish La Liga on Sunday.
Lookman, who was in the starting lineup, was taken off in the 76th minute.
Real Sociedad controlled more possession (54%) and generated more attacks/corners, but Atlético were far more clinical, converting their opportunities late on.
Atletico took the lead on 84 minutes through Alejandro Grimaldo who converted from the penalty spot.
In the 90th minute Jonathan David made it 2-0 before Giuliano Simeone added the third goal in the 95th minute.

I would have taken him off earlier.
Plenty of perspiration, too little inspiration.
Unlike previous games, he seemed a bit more interested today. But he just did not have the cutting edge, that killer instinct.
He needs to step it up. He is nowhere near the form he was in a few years ago when he grabbed a hat trick for Atalanta in that European cup final.
Well put @Pompeii. Well put.
Nobody shd complain by the time simeone start benching lookman pls, he has been performing below standard despite simeone trust in him, yes he has been playing out of position but that’s what make u a good player, ATM scored all 3goals after his withdraws. Adebobo u need to seat up pls.
You just rightly stated that he is being played out of position….
But even with that still….
Hahahaha
Do you think the Spanish league (the second most competitive in the world) is the same as the tolotolo league where your most cherished fav plays in???
Where even if you play a striker as a center back, he will end up winning several man of the match award and even becoming the highest goal scorer….
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
