Ademola Olajade Alade Aylola Lookman, a former player of Everton, Leicester City, Leipzig, Charlton Athletic and now with Atlanta, displayed a “Man of Match” performance, with incredible goal scoring attributes when he powered Atlanta to beat Bayern Leverkusen three goals to zero, to end their unbeaten run from the Bundesliga to the European Cup finals, in Dublin, Ireland.
Ademola Lookman scored all three goals with excellent and exquisite ways, with the first goal being a tap in. The second goal was an individual brilliance by nutmegging Xhaka and placing the ball behind the reach of the Leverkusen’s goalkeeper. The first half ended two zero in favor of Atlanta.
The Nigerian international scored a sensational third goal with his left foot, after beating Burkinabe’s Tapsoba with body swerves, and then he let go of a bullet of his left foot into the top corner of the Leverkusen net. Atlanta have waited for 61 years for this glory in Europe.
The unbeaten run of Xabi Alonso has come to an end by a Nigerian whose name will be remembered this evening in Bergamo, Atlanta. Ademola Lookman has written his name in the history books of Atlanta.
