Atalanta’s manager, Gian Gasperini lavished praise on Nigeria’s Super Eagles striker, Ademola Lookman after the winger played a key role in Monday night’s 2-0 win against Monza.
Lookman set up Rasmus Hojlund for the opening goal with a perfect cross in the 57th minute.
The former Liverpool player shot was diverted into the net for the second goal by Marlon eight minutes later.
“Atalanta have never been on top of the table alone, the lads deserve the praise, it’s a nice thing for us and our fans. We’ll try to make it last as much as possible,” Gasperini told DAZN.
“The fans can enjoy this great moment, we know we have a lot of work ahead of the next games. We have a lot of options that are working well. Hojlund scored, Soppy played an excellent game, like Ederson and Lookman.
“Hojlund has interesting characteristics for a 19-year-old. He is a smart guy and I hope I’ll help him improve with some advice.
“It’s important to score goals because it’s how you win games, last season we stopped scoring goals and that’s why we didn’t go forward. This team has different characteristics, this season we have more pace.”
