Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman has continued his sizzling pre-season form on Sunday, even as his team Atalanta were roasted 4-1 by Parma at the Ennio Tardini Stadium.
The Nigerian international produced a moment of magic in the 38th minute, scoring a consolation goal that hinted at the brilliance of last season, Footballrover reports.
Parma were in ruthless mood, with Dennis Man’s early strike setting the tone for a dominant display.
Ange-Yoan Bonny added to the misery before Lookman Ademola pulled one back for the Italians.
However, his effort wasn’t enough, as Man’s second and a Partipilo strike sealed Atalanta’s fate.

The former Leicester City flyer, who rejoined the squad after Super Eagles duty, has been on fire.
The 26-year-old forward forced an own goal in their opening pre-season match and hasn’t looked back since.
Crowned Atalanta’s Player of the Season for the second straight year, Lookman’s 27 goal involvements last season speak volumes about what he can bring to the table.
With a UEFA Super Cup showdown against Real Madrid looming on August 14, expectations are sky-high.
Before then, Atalanta will have to face St. Pauli in their final pre-season tune-up. Lookman and teammates will be keen to sharpen their claws ahead of the new campaign.
