Super Eagles attacker Ademola Lookman has equalled the goal record set by Uruguay striker Luis Suárez at Atletico Madrid after scoring his fourth goal since joining the club last month in their 4–2 win over Espanyol on Saturday.
Following his goal against Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League in midweek, Lookman kept his place in the starting lineup as Atletico Madrid welcomed Espanyol to the Estadio Metropolitano.
Atleti entered the match as heavy favourites, given their superior quality and the visitors’ wretched winless run since the turn of the year. However, Diego Simeone’s men were made to work hard for the points.
Lookman played 60 minutes and delivered a highly effective performance, scoring his fourth goal in just six games for the club in all competitions. He also has six assists.
According to OptaJose, no player aside from Luis Suárez has enjoyed such a prolific start to their career with Los Colchoneros.
