Lookman scores on Atletico Madrid debut

Super Eagles forward, Ademola Lookman, scored on his debut for Atlético Madrid as they thrashed Real Betis 5-0 in the quarter-final of the Copa del Rey on Thursday night.

Lookman sealed his move from Atalanta to the La Liga side early this week.

The forward scored the third goal from a counter-attacking move after David Hancko and Giuliano Simeone had put Diego Simeone’s side 2 goals up.

Antoine Griezmann and Thiago Almada completed the rout after the 28-year-old's 37th-minute goal.

Atlético and Betis will face each other again on Sunday in LaLiga.
