SUPER Eagles of Nigeria forward Ademola Lookman came off the bench tonight to contribute a goal and an assist as Atalanta overcame Fiorentina 4-1 to qualify for the Coppa Italia final 4-2 on aggregate.
The Nigeria international was introduced in the 70th minute, just two minutes after 10-man Fiorentina levelled the score at 1-1 on the night.
Gianluca Scamacca netted in the 75th minute to make in 2-1 on the night but Atalanta still needed one more goal to advance.
Lookman then stepped in to save his side, scoring the goal that gave them the aggregate lead in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
The former Everton star then set up Scamacca four minutes later for the goal that buried Fiorentina.
Lookman has now registered 10 goals and seven assists in 36 appearances across all competitions for Atalanta this season.
Atalanta, who eliminated Liverpool to reach this season’s UEFA Europa League semi-finals, will face Juventus in the Coppa Italia final, after the Turin giants scraped past Lazio last night.
