Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman has reacted to his outstanding performance in Nigerias commanding 3-0 victory over Benin on Saturday evening, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Super Eagles comfortably dispatched their West African rivals in Uyo, with Lookman netting twice and Victor Osimhen adding a second-half strike to secure Nigeria's first win in four games.
Benin's Cheetahs frustrated Nigeria for much of the first half, but Lookman broke the deadlock just before the interval with a moment of individual brilliance.
Late in the second half, the former Everton winger sealed the win with a header from a Moses Simon cross, after Osimhen had earlier doubled the Super Eagles' advantage with an acrobatic finish.
Lookmans two goals capped off a remarkable week for him, having also been named among the 30 best players in the world as the only African on the Ballon dOr shortlist.
