Despite recent public criticism from his coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, Ademola Lookman delivered a stunning performance against Empoli today.

The 27-year-old Nigerian forward, returning from injury, scored two goals and created four scoring chances, demonstrating his resilience and quality.

Lookman’s performance comes after a period of tension following a missed penalty and subsequent comments from Gasperini.

The coach publicly criticized Lookman’s penalty-taking ability, sparking widespread discussion.

However, Lookman’s response on the field has been emphatic.

His two goals and creative output against Empoli highlight his importance to the team and his ability to perform under pressure.

This display of form is a powerful statement, proving his focus and determination to contribute to his team’s success, regardless of the off-field noise.

His immediate return to form after injury will be a welcome boost for his team.

Meanwhile, Ademola Lookman’s overall Serie A season has been nothing short of spectacular:

🏟️ 20 games
👕 18 starts
⚽ 12 goals
🅰️ 5 assists

This impressive stat line translates to an average of a goal contribution (goal or assist) every 83 minutes, showcasing Lookman’s consistent impact and efficiency in the Italian top flight.

Very good

Let your works do the talking bro.
He silenced his critics with two well taken goals.

He shows workings

I commend both the coach, player and the management for putting aside the fiasco.
And Ademola proved himself

Agba baller

GOAT BEHAVIOUR

I heard that in the post match interview, the coach took another swipe at Lookman.


The coach no send im papa. 🤣🤣🤣😆

Star boy for a reason

Gasperini's grudges against Lookman is gradually developing to hatred and was on full display yesterday.

While making substitutions, Gasperini waited to shake hands with other players who were being substituted off but deliberately walked away when Lookman was being substituted off the field so as to avoid shaking him.

The way to go bro....

Mute the critic...

The best way to silence racist idiots

I expected the Coach to shower Lookman with praises to show his criticism wasn't biased.

A proper player that's truly talented...!

Not the one that will immediately start looking for another club to exercise Freedom.

This is Lookman's last season there...!

He is leaving on a very high note.

Atalanta will return back to the mediocrity they are known for.

This is how you keep your critics mute with workings , no need for verbal response just reply them with humiliating results

I think we have love hate relationship with the SERIA A..... All our players have shined in Seria A...... Even tho they love us and all of a sudden hate us.... Our players still go there and make a statement

Don't mind that coach

Coach wey no sabi his work na suegbe

Result is the only cure for insult.

Alright

If lookman like make him score 7 goals for one game sef e nor concern me,all I know is that he was nothing without gasperini,he was a total flop who was already being touted as a failed project in England and he owes every fncking thing he is today to GOD, Gasperini and Atalanta, without gasperini and atalanta he won't have been playing for the super eagles today and would never ever have been named the African footballer of the year.

He is a disciplined star and it will be difficult for any coach to demarket him. His conduct has proved his maturity and decorum at critical time. Very disciplined than his uncouth coach

Gasperini, in a bid to save face still talked nonsense yesterday...... The damage control didn't work

LEAGUE DIFFERENT FROM TOURNAMENT.
