Ademola Lookman made history tonight when a sensational hat-trick gave Atalanta their first-ever European honour, the UEFA Europa League
He is the first player to fire a treble in the final of this competition.
In the process, the 26-year-old Super Eagles striker ended the 51-game unbeaten run of Bayer Leverkusen.
He was named Man of the Match and his entire team mobbed him immediately the final whistle went.
Lookman struck first blood in the 12th minute with a well-taken goal.
He then doubled his team’s advantage on 26 minutes, before he conjured an unstoppable shot on 75 minutes.
In the second half, Leverkusen brought on both Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella, but it was too little, too late as the Bundesliga champions were simply dominated by the Italians.
