Lookman’s heroics fall short as Atalanta suffers defeat to Napoli

By Olaolu Joseph
Super Eagles striker Ademola Lookman was on target for Atalanta in Saturday’s Serie A clash against Napoli.
However, his goal was not enough to save his team as they slumped to a 2-3 loss on home soil.
It was a mixed night for the Nigerian, who took his tally in the league to 10 goals and five assists in 18 games this season.
The reigning CAF Player of the Year needs just one more goal to equal his league tally from last season (11 goals).
Atalanta has now gone five straight games without a win, recording three draws and two defeats.
For Antonio Conte’s Napoli, the victory against Atalanta extended their winning run to six consecutive games.
