Nigerian international Ademola Lookman brought an end to his six-match goal drought in Serie A with a decisive strike on Sunday, helping Atalanta secure a commanding 4-0 win over Monza at the Gewiss Stadium.
Lookman’s goal his first since scoring against Juventus on March 9 came in the second half after a composed finish from a Mateo Retegui assist.
The 27-year-old forward calmly beat the Monza goalkeeper to score Atalanta’s third of the afternoon, capping off an impressive individual performance.
The victory sealed Monza’s relegation to Serie B, confirming they will not feature in Serie A next season.
The Super Eagles winger had previously failed to find the net in league outings against Inter Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio, Bologna, AC Milan, and Lecce.
Sunday’s goal marked his 19th of the season across all competitions, a testament to his attacking influence for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.
Atalanta continue their charge for a Champions League spot as the season nears its end, with Lookman’s return to scoring form arriving at a crucial moment in their campaign.
