Atalanta secure a 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen to win the Europa League final at the Aviva Stadium!
The Italian side didn’t create a host of chances, but they took their opportunities when needed and got their hands on the trophy.
Leverkusen struggled to create in the final third, and they were far from clinical.
Gasperini’s side opened the scoring in the first half as Lookman latched on to a low cross from Zappacosta, firing into the back of the net from close range.
Shortly after the Nigerian winger grabbed his second in style, cutting in from the left, nutmegging Xhaka, and sending a curling effort into the bottom corner.
The Italian side sat back after the break, looking to counter-attack as Alonso’s men dominated the possession, and they found a third late in the game.
Scamacca drove through the middle of the pitch before picking out Lookman, and the former Everton man’s powerful strike nestled in the top corner, securing his hat-trick!
Leverkusen were unbeaten in all competitions going into this one, but Atalanta have dealt them a double blow, ending their run and lifting the trophy.
