With a hat-trick from Nigerian Ademola Lookman, Atalanta ended Bayer Leverkusen's impressive unbeaten streak under Xabi Alonso and clinched the Europa League title in their first European final at the Aviva Stadium, also denying the Germans a treble.
Ademola Lookman's incredible performance proved enough to halt the historic Leverkusen's run, who netted a sensational brace within the first 15 minutes, surprising a German side that never ceased to fight in the first half.
In the second half, Lookman scored the decisive third goal to secure a historic Italian victory. Not only did he become the first player in Europa League history to score a hat-trick in the final, but with his outstanding display, he also handed Atalanta their first European title.
