Ademola Lookman scored for the second game in a row as Atletico Madrid secured a 1-0 victory over Girona in their final home match of the season on Sunday.
The Super Eagles winger found the net in Atletico’s 2-1 win over Osasuna last week. This time, he scored the winner, helping his side claim their second consecutive victory.
It took his tally for the season to four La Liga goals in 11 matches. Across all competitions, the 28-year-old has recorded nine goals and three assists for Diego Simeone’s side.
Ademola Lookman broke the deadlock in the 21st minute, tapping home from close range after a brilliant low cross from Griezmann. The goal proved to be enough for the hosts, who held on to deny a desperate Girona side from equalising.
