Ademola Lookman was the hero as Atlético Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Girona FC in Sunday’s La Liga encounter.
Atlético Madrid dominated proceedings from the outset, asserting control early in the game.
Their pressure paid off in the 21st minute when Lookman found the back of the net, calmly finishing from an assist by Antoine Griezmann.
The goal marked Lookman’s fourth league strike of the season, continuing his steady contribution since arriving in Spain.
The Nigerian forward, who joined Diego Simeone’s side from Atalanta BC in January, was later substituted with 27 minutes remaining, making way for Clément Lenglet.
Despite the victory, Atlético Madrid remain in fourth position in the La Liga standings as they continue their push for a strong finish to the season.
