Super Eagles forward, Ademola Lookman scored in his debut for Atletico Madrid on Thursday.
The winger scored in the 37th minute for his new Spanish La Liga club’s 5-0 triumph over Real Betis in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals.
Lookman also contributed an assist in the game.
The 28-year-old sealed a €35 million transfer to Atletico from Atalanta on Monday, was thrown into the fire by coach Diego Simeone, and immediately repaid the faith with the best goal of the night.
Lookman collected a cross-field pass in the box following a counter attack, expertly took out two defenders with his dribbling, and tucked in a shot at the goalkeeper’s near post to hand Atletico a 3-0 lead at halftime in Betis.
Lookman’s strike is his 100th career goal, and it came on the same night he made his professional debut with his seventh club.
He also scored on his third straight club debut, following his impressive starts at RB Salzurg and Atalanta.
