Serie A: Lookman Subbed On In Atalanta, Lazio Five-Goal Thriller

Super Eagles winger, Ademola Lookman was in action as Atalanta lost 3-2 to Lazio in Sunday’s Serie A game.

The Nigerian international has made eight appearance and netted two goals in the league this ongoing season.

Lookman came on as a substitute for Gianluca Scamacca in the 60th minute.

It was Charles De Ketelaere who opened the scoring, but in the wrong net, as the trademark in-swinging Luis Alberto corner kick went past everyone and bounced off his stomach into the net.

The second was a well-worked move, as Mattia Zaccagni spread the play down the right for Felipe Anderson, who whipped a ball across the face of play for Taty Castellanos to sweep in his debut Serie A goal at the back post.

Mateo Guendouzi then rattled the crossbar with a long-range strike, as Atalanta finally got into the game with a Mario Pasalic header off target at the back post when he really should’ve done better.

Atalanta completed the comeback from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 when Sead Kolasinac was allowed a free header, the Ruggeri corner taken short for a Koopmeiners cross. It was the defender’s first Serie A goal.

Daichi Kamada nodded a Pedro cross straight at Musso, while Isaksen curled a free kick over the bar before Lazio restored their advantage.
