    Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman scored and also provided an assist on Tuesday night as Atalanta thrashed Sturm Graz 5-0 to boost their chances of progressing into the knockout rounds of the UEFA Champions League.

    Current African Player of the Year Lookman came on at the start of the second half and got Atalanta’s fourth goal in the 90th minute.

    The Nigeria international then provided the assist for the fifth goal scored by Marco Breschianini in the 94th minute.

    Other scorers for Atalanta were Mateo Retegui, Mario Pasalic and Charles De Ketelaere.

    Also on Tuesday night in the UEFA Champions League in Portugal, Barcelona came from 3-1 down to edge out Benfica 5-4 in a thrilling encounter.

    A first hat-trick from Vangelis Pavlidis (second, 22nd, 30th minutes) gave Benfica a 3-1 first-half lead.

    Robert Lewandowski cancelled out Pavlidis’ opener from the penalty spot on 13 minutes.

    Raphinha scored on 64 minutes to make it 3-2 but an own goal by Ronald Araujo made it 4-2 to Benfica.

    With 12 minutes left, Lewandowski converted another penalty to bring the score to 4-3 before Eric Garcia (86th minute) and Raphinha (96th) grabbed Barca’s fourth and fifth goals.
