Ademola Lookman delivered one of his most influential performances of the season on Wednesday, guiding Atalanta to a commanding 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Champions League. The Nigerian forward, who has endured a challenging campaign, stepped up when it mattered most, marking the night with both a goal and an assist.

Lookman broke the deadlock just after the hour mark, timing his run perfectly to meet a Charles De Ketelaere cross at the far post and put Atalanta ahead. His impact didn’t stop there. Moments later, he turned creator, laying off a smart pass for Ederson to fire home the second goal as Atalanta tightened their grip on the match.

The victory was also a memorable one for new Atalanta boss Raffaele Palladino, who secured a win in his Champions League debut. Atalanta now sit 10th in the league phase standings with ten points from five games.
