He provided the assist for Højlund, who scored the opener at Monza, and doubled Atalanta’s lead, although the Lega Serie A decided the team’s second goal was a Marlon own goal. It was certainly an important evening for Ademola Lookman: ‘We are working hard to be better”.

Ademola Lookman, you were better in the second half, do you agree?

“Yeah, definitely. We created a lot more chances in the second half, we played a lot better and we won the game”.

After five games, what do you think of Italian football?

“I’m enjoying it. It’s tough football but I’m adapting every single day and I’m working hard to be better”.

You doubled our lead, it looks like an own goal, but you were on the ball.

“I think it’s my goal but the most important is that we got the points and we’re first”.

13 points on the table and you’re alone on top of the league: it’s still early, of course, but you’re up there.

“Yeah, that’s the most important thing. we’re winning games and we’re there about. I think it’s a testament to our work on the pitch and training every single game, wanting to be better and striving to be better. That’s the most important”.
