Ballon d’Or nominee Ademola Lookman netted the winner in Atalanta 3-2 win over Fiorentina in a Serie A tie on Sunday.
The red-hot midfielder had grabbed an assist in the 21st minute before putting icing on the cake for the Europa League winners before half time.
In a post match interview, the Nigerian insisted he is ‘enjoying’ his football with Atalanta after a tumultuous summer.
Lookman made his first Serie A appearance of the season after pulling out due to transfer interest from big clubs, but now that he is back in the fold, he made an immediate difference with an assist and a goal for Atalanta.
“Happy to be back in front of our fans and play football here. Enjoying it, we’ve got a strong squad this season and happy to play, so we go on,” Lookman told DAZN when asked about his rather turbulent summer.
Atalanta will be up against Premier League contenders Arsenal in the Champions League on Thursday, a very special game for Lookman, who was born in London.
“We’re very pleased to be in the Champions League this season. We deserved that and have to demonstrate it. We want to show the same drive and mentality that we had today to come back from behind.”
