Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman scored on Sunday night to help Atalanta thrash Juventus 4-0 in their Serie A clash at the Allianz Arena.
The 27-year-old Nigeria international wrapped up the scoring for the visitors with the fourth goal in the 77th minute.
Lookman, the reigning African Player of the Year, pounced on a mistake by a Juventus player in midfield, ran towards goal and took a shot which deflected slightly off a defender and ended in the back of the net.
Mateo Retegui opened the scoring in the 29th minute from the penalty spot before Marten de Roon added the second just after the break.
Former Chelsea defender Davide Zappacosta was also on the score sheet for Gianpiero Gasperini on 66 minutes.
Atalanta are in the third position in Serie A on 58 points, just three points behind leaders Inter Milan in the league table.
The heavy defeat leaves Juventus in fourth place, six points further behind.
Lookman has scored four goals in his last four matches and has 13 goals and five assists in 22 Serie A appearances this campaign.
Also, he has surpassed his league tally for last season which was 11 in 31 gam
