Ademola Lookman scored and provided an assist as Atalanta stunned Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 on Wednesday night in Germany.
The Super Eagles forward who was rated the lowest of the 22 players in the barren first half of the UEFA Champions League match-day five clash, returned from the break, a different player. It was his night of crowning glory in Germany.
Atalanta began the second half with zest, but Frankfurt’s goalkeeper Michael Zetterer was alert enough to sprint from his goal line to stop Lookman from wheeling away in celebration in the opening minutes.
Nevertheless, there was nothing that Zetterer could do to prevent the Bergamo outfit from stunning Deutsche Bank Park into silence in a devastating two-minute spell beginning on the strike of the hour mark.
First, a criminally unmarked Lookman volleyed home Charles De Ketelaere’s  dinked delivery from inside the area, before the Super Eagles forward turned provider with a defence-splitting pass, which allowed Ederson to slot the ball underneath the onrushing figure of the Bundesliga side.Â
If the silence was deafening after Atalanta’s second, it was something else entirely just a further three minutes later, as De Ketelaere hammered home on the rebound after Scamacca’s effort had struck the underside of the bar.
