MILAN: When he’s not scoring, Ademola Lookman is setting them up. Lookman had a hand in both goals of Atalanta’s 2-0 win over Lazio in Serie A scrap for the top four on Saturday.
Atalanta moved into third place, above AC Milan and Roma on goal difference alone. Head-to-head is the first tiebreaker at the end of the season.
Roma were held at Lecce to 1-1 earlier, while Milan beat Torino 1-0 on Friday. Sixth-placed Lazio were two points behind the trio.
Atalanta started aggressively at the Stadio Olimpico and took a deserved lead in the 23rd minute. Lookman was trying to cut inside and Lazio midfielder Adam Marusic tried to intercept but succeeded only in laying it off to Davide Zappacosta, who curled a stunning strike into the top right corner.
