Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman scored twice as Atalanta forced Juventus into a 3-3 draw in a thrilling Serie A encounter on Sunday. Juventus fought back to draw with Atalanta in their first match since they were docked 15 points for transfer irregularities.

Ademola Lookman gave Atalanta an early lead, but Juve hit back to lead at the break through Angel di Maria’s penalty and Arkadiusz Milik’s volley.

Joakim Maehle equalised after a minute of the second half before Lookman struck again with a fine header. Juve levelled when Di Maria’s backheel at a free kick wrongfooted the Atalanta defence, allowing Danilo the chance to drive his shot low past Musso.

The result sees Atalanta move up one place into fifth, while Juve, who had slipped down to 10th following the points deduction, are now ninth.

Some Juve fans booed the Serie A anthem as it was played just before kick off, and they saw their side make a poor start when goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny allowed Lookman’s shot to go through his hands at the near post in the fifth minute.
