A goal and assist for Lookman as Atalanta fall to Frankfurt in Germany

Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman seems to always have his armor on him whenever he steps out to play as the Nigerian striker scored a goal and provided an assist in a friendly against Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Nigerian international Lookman opened the scoring when he slotted in an empty net a well rolled cross from Ramus Højlund in the 15th minute.

The German side showed their class by getting the equaliser towards the end of the first half through Lucas Alario. He then put Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 ahead just three minutes into the second half.

But not for long, Lookman returned the favor of Højlund when he sent the Dane clear on goal with a lovely pass to give Atalanta the equalizer.

Lookman again tried to look for the winner for the Serie A side, but his attempt struck the framework.

The tie after 90 minutes ended ina 2-2 draw but the Italian side lost on penalties 5-3.
