LOOKMAN CELEBRATE AWARD WITH HOME FANS

Ademola Lookman, recently crowned CAF men’s best player of the year winner, scored the second goal in Atalanta’s 3-2 victory over Empoli in their Serie A encounter.

Before the start of the match, Lookman displayed his glittering orb that was awarded to him on Monday when he was crowned the 2024 CAF player of the year. The home fans at the Gewiss stadium washed him with ovations in response.

Less than 45 minutes later, the fans were clapping for Lookman again as he wheels away in celebration after putting Atalanta ahead from a goal down.

The 27-year-old controlled Nicolo Zaniolo’s knockdown inside Empoli’s goal area and slotted the ball home from four yards out.

The goal was Lookman’s ninth goal of the season in the Italian Serie A, becoming the joint third-highest goalscorer in the league scoring charts this season.
