It was a much-needed win for the UEFA Europa League holders after they lost their previous two games – 2-1 at Torino and 4-0 at champions Inter Milan.

Atalanta fell behind at home after just 15 minutes, before they drew level six minutes later with the Super Eagles forward providing the assist.

Ademola Lookman scored what proved to be the match winner in first half stoppage time.

He sprinted into the box from the left, drew his marker with him and took the entire defence by surprise by slotting home also from the left.

It was his first goal in his first start of the new season.

Atalanta now have six points from four matches.
