CAF Player of the Year Ademola Lookman was on target as Atalanta defeated Juventus 4-0 to keep their Serie A title hopes alive.
Both sides showed plenty of intent from the start, and a blistering Atalanta break culminated in Ademola Lookman’s shot being blocked by Khéphren Thuram, who then fired over at the other end following some lovely link-up play.
The visitors eventually broke the deadlock in the 29th minute from Mateo Retegui’s penalty, taking the lead to halftime.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s men had their second under a minute after the restart, as Di Gregorio saved Lookman’s shot and De Roon fired home the rebound. The pressure continued to build and it was clear Atalanta wanted more goals.
They duly added the third goal of the night after a brilliant backheel pass from Sead Kolasinac was met by Davide Zappacosta, who made no mistake, firing into the bottom corner.
Lookman added the fourth, his 50th goal for Atalanta to put the icing on the cake.
