Ademola Lookman scored as Atalanta beat Genoa 2-0 at the Gewiss Stadium, Bergamo on Sunday night.
Lookman bundled over the line in the 68th minute.
The referee initially disallowed the goal for handball, but the VAR replays showed he managed to avoid landing on it with his arm, so the official changed his decision.
It was Lookman’s third goal of the season for La Dea.
The Nigeria international was replaced by Mario Pasalic 11 minutes from time. READ ALSO:
