Atalanta's Lookman Stunner Ends Bayer Leverkusen's Unbeaten Run
Atalanta Claim Europa League Glory
Lookman Hat-Trick Sinks Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen's remarkable 51-game unbeaten run was brought to an abrupt end on Wednesday as Atalanta's Ademola Lookman fired a superb hat-trick to secure a stunning Europa League triumph.
Lookman's exceptional performance was the catalyst for Atalanta's triumph, marking the club's first major trophy in 61 years. The Italian side's impressive defensive record in the competition was also a key factor, with Atalanta conceding only 28 shots on target throughout their campaign.
Leverkusen, despite their lengthy unbeaten run, struggled to contain Lookman's brilliance. The English winger's goals came in the 12th, 58th, and 63rd minutes, extinguishing Leverkusen's hopes of a European crown.
