A fresh tactical dawn under new manager Raffaele Palladino has reignited the spark within Atalanta's Ademola Lookman, with the Nigerian international now showcasing a return to the scintillating form that made him a star.

The evidence was on full display at a vibrant Gewiss Stadium, where Lookman played a pivotal role in a commanding 2-0 victory over Fiorentina. After a first-half opener from Odilon Kossounou, it was Lookman who effectively sealed the contest, finding the net early in the second period to double the lead and cement a crucial three points.

This goal marks a significant personal milestone for the winger, representing his second in as many games—a clear signal that his early-season struggles are firmly in the rearview mirror. There's a renewed spring in his step and a sharpness in his movement, attributes that have been amplified under Palladino's guidance.

Having now tallied two Serie A goals from nine appearances this season, plus an additional strike on the prestigious stage of the UEFA Champions League, Lookman is steadily rebuilding his momentum and re-establishing himself as a key weapon in Atalanta's attacking arsenal.
