Nigerian international Ademola Lookman scored a goal and provided an assist to help Atalanta secure a 3-0 victory against Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen.

Lookman, who previously scored a hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen, once again showcased his talent in Europe by leading Atalanta to their first win of the 2024/25 Champions League campaign.

Atalanta opened the scoring midway through the first half when Berat Djimsiti capitalized on Lookman’s cross to score from close range.

Lookman then doubled their lead just before half-time by finding space in the box to convert Sead Kolasinac’s low delivery.

Shortly after the break, Raoul Bellanova extended Atalanta’s lead to three goals by heading in Davide Zappacosta’s cross.

This victory comes as a much-needed boost for Atalanta, who have struggled in Serie A this season with only two wins in their first six matches.
