Nigerian international, Ademola Lookman, on Friday, struck a late winner for Atalanta in a 2-1 victory over AC Milan.
The Serie A clash between both sides at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, saw Lookman help his side move top of the table with 34 points.
The 2024 CAF Awards nominee stooped to head home a flicked ball towards the near post by former Arsenal defender, Sead Kolasinac, in the 87th minute.
Earlier on, Belgian striker, Charles De Ketelaere had put the Bergamo side in the lead in the 12th minute.
Ketelaere, 23, powered a close-range header from a free kick by Marten De Roon.
Just 10 minutes after, ex-Real Madrid striker, Alvaro Morata, equalised for Milan.
Rafael Leao, in his typical style, paced down the left flank before delivering a low cross to the Spaniard who didn’t fail to convert.
It was Leao’s fourth assist in the domestic league this season.
Lookman had a chance at goal at the 43rd-minute mark.
However, the number 11 came in from the left flank but could only fire the ball past the post.
In 15 league games played so far, Atalanta has secured 11 wins, one draw and three losses.
They are closely followed by Napoli and Inter with 32 and 31 points, respectively.
