Atalanta was held to a 0-0 draw by relegation-threatened Venezia at the Gewiss Stadium today. The home side dominated possession and created several chances but was unable to break the deadlock.
The most notable miss came from Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman, who wasted a golden opportunity to give Atalanta the win. In the second half, Lookman was left unmarked in front of an open goal but shockingly missed the target, leaving both fans and teammates stunned.
This disappointing performance was a stark contrast to Lookman’s recent form, where he impressed with a brace and an assist in Atalanta’s 5-0 thrashing of Empoli just days ago. Fans quickly took to social media, expressing frustration over his inconsistency.
