Lookman Strikes — Atalanta Reach First Europa League Final
Lookman of Nigeria scores as Atalanta defeats Marseille to go to their first-ever Europa League final.
Ademola Lookman, Matteo Ruggeri, and El Bilal Toure scored goals for Atalanta against Olympique de Marseille on Thursday to send the Italian team into their first-ever Europa League final.
With an overall score of 4-1, the Italians advanced to the championship match.
Lookman's long-range goal past Pau Lopez gave Atalanta the lead on the half-hour mark in the second leg, and seven minutes after the interval, he set up Ruggeri to increase the lead.
In the 94th minute, substitute Toure scored a goal that effectively ended Marseille's chances.
Atalanta is fifth in Serie A and is aiming for a Champions League spot when they take on Juventus in the Italian Cup final on Wednesday.
The Europa League championship game between the Italians and Bayer Leverkusen will take place in Dublin on May 22. The Italians have never advanced to a European final.
