Nigerian international Ademola Lookman has expressed his delight after coming off the bench to score and assist as Atalanta thumped Sturm Graz in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, September 21.

The reigning African Footballer of the Year came off the bench at the interval to help Gian Piero Gasperini's side cruise to a remarkable 5-0 victory at the Gewiss Stadium.

The 27-year-old had a goal disallowed after coming on before going ahead to score in the 90th minute with a powerful header.

Lookman also set up Charles De Ketelaere for Atalanta's fifth goal of the night in stoppage time.

The Super Eagles striker took to social media to react to his fourth UCL goal of the campaign, writing, “Just doing what I do,” on Instagram.

Lookman has so far racked up 14 goals and seven assists in 26 appearances across all competitions for La Dea this season.

Looks polished now! Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.
