Lookman hat-trick fires Atalanta to Europa League, ends Leverkusen's unbeaten run

Lookman became the first player to score a hat-trick in a European final since 1975 to secure Atalanta's first ever continental trophy. The side from Bergamo have long lived in the shadow of nearby giants AC and Inter Milan. However, they have enjoyed a golden era under Gian Piero Gasperini, reaching the Champions League on four occasions, and now have silverware to show for it. "To win it with Atalanta is perhaps one of the football fairytales that rarely gives scope for meritocracy," said Gasperini.
