Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has praised Ademola Lookman after the Super Eagles forward ended his six-game goal drought in Tuesday night’s victory over Manchester United at the Wanda Metropolitano. The Nigerian international reacted quickly to score from a rebound after United goalkeeper Senne Lammens saved Jonathan Davies’ effort.

Simeone described Lookman as an important player, highlighting his impressive statistics, goalscoring ability and skill in one-on-one situations. He admitted that the forward was still working towards consistently reaching his full potential but expressed satisfaction that he had rediscovered his scoring touch.

Lookman will now hope to build on the goal and establish greater consistency as Atletico Madrid continue their campaign. The strike could provide a timely confidence boost for the Nigerian forward after a difficult start to the season.
