Ademola Lookman once again showcased his scoring prowess, netting his seventh goal of the 2024-25 season with an impressive brace that led Atalanta to a dominant 3-0 victory over Napoli. Lookman, who has been in electric form, took only ten minutes to open the scoring, placing the ball expertly into the net. Just 21 minutes later, he struck again, this time with a powerful long-range shot, doubling his tally for the night.

However, Lookman was quick to share the spotlight. He credited his success to Belgian teammate Charles De Ketelaere, whose precise assists set the stage for Lookman’s brace. The Nigerian forward, brimming with gratitude, extended a warm invitation to De Ketelaere, saying, “Absolutely! He did an exceptional job today, so I would say he definitely deserves a dinner. It will be a pleasure to offer it to him.”

Named Man of the Match, Lookman praised De Ketelaere’s pivotal role and emphasized the strength of teamwork. “Charles played very well and did a great job. It’s always a pleasure when your teammates put you in the right position to score,” Lookman said, reflecting on the camaraderie within the team.

This victory not only solidified Lookman’s position as a top performer for Atalanta but also added to his season tally, with 27 goal contributions, comprising 16 goals and 11 assists. As Atalanta continues to push forward, Lookman’s chemistry with De Ketelaere might just be the key to a successful campaign.
