ATALANTA 3-0 BAYER LEVERKUSEN: Ademola Lookman scores a stunning hat-trick as the Italian underdogs upset Xabi Alonso's side with a fantastic performance in the Europa League final
Ademola Lookman conjured one of the great individual European final performances to wreck Bayer Leverkusen ’s bid for an ‘invincible treble’.
Even this Leverkusen side can lose. Especially when up against the brilliance Lookman showed. The 26-year-old graduated to senior football at Charlton, played for England up to under-21 level and figured for Everton, and on loan at Fulham and Leicester. They shook off the nickname Neverkusen – after being five times runners up and losing three or four German Cup finals and their Champions League final. They won’t be called that again, but this was a game too far. The pressure of such history weighing on their shoulders was too much.
