Super Eagles ace Ademola Lookman scored his first-ever Champions League goal and provided an assist before Raoul Bellanova completed a classic to help Atalanta beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0 in Gelsenkirchen.

The Europa League defending champions were already leading from the Berat Djimsiti chest and volley on a Lookman cross when they doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time.

The Nigeria international the second of the evening, finishing off a well-worked move that he had started with a back-heel flick.

The third goal then arrived with a classic Gian Piero Gasperini move, as one wing-back set up the other, Bellanova at the back post to meet the Davide Zappacosta cross.
