Super Eagles forward ADEMOLA LOOKMAN scored a sensational hat-trick for ATALANTA, who won the Europa League final 3-0 last night at the AVIVA Stadium in DUBLIN to end German Champions BAYER LEVERKUSEN’S 51-game unbeaten run.

Xabi Alonso’s team simply ran out of steam after a phenomenal season with LOOKMANwho Got to the African Cup of Nations final running them ragged, opening the scoring with a back-post finish in 12 minutes before doubling the advantage with a stunning curling effort 14 minutes later.

He wrapped up his famous treble with a powerful left-footed strike that flew into the top corner meaning he became the first player to ever score a hat-trick in a Europa League final.

For ATALANTA boss GIAN PIERO GASPERINI, this was the first major trophy of his long career and only the second trophy for ATALANTA in their 116-year history, over six decades after the BERGAMO side had won theCOPPA ITALIA.
