Ademola Lookman’s impressive performance for Atalanta last weekend didn’t go unnoticed, as he was named to the Serie A Team of the Week announced on Tuesday.

Lookman scored a goal and provided an assist in Atalanta’s 3-2 victory over Fiorentina on Sunday. His goal proved to be the match-winner in what was his first league appearance of the season, having missed the opening three games.

The Nigeria striker earned an 8.0 rating for his performance, making him the highest-rated player on the left side of a three-man attack. He shares this honor with Udinese’s Florian Thauvin, who occupied the right side of the attack. Romelu Lukaku of Napoli completed the forward line with a 7.5 rating, after scoring in their 4-0 win over Cagliari on Sunday.

In midfield, Mattia Zaccagni (7.0) featured for his two assists in Lazio’s 2-1 victory over Verona, while Samuel Iling-Junior (7.0) made the team after his late goal secured Bologna a 2-2 draw against Como on Saturday. Youssouf Fofana and Christian Pulisic rounded out the midfield with ratings of 7.0 and 7.5, respectively, after both scored in Milan’s 4-0 rout of Venezia. Pulisic also contributed an assist.

In goal, Napoli’s Alex Meret was named, with a 7.5 rating. The defense featured a three-man backline of Denzel Dumfries (Atalanta), Alessandro Buongiorno (Napoli), and Theo Hernandez (Milan), all rated 7.0. Both Buongiorno and Hernandez were on target for their clubs.
