Lookman, who has been one of the revelation in Italy this season, had a difficult night against the rejuvenated Milan team at San Siro.
He got just Sixty-six minutes on the pitch, with no chances created and just 1 shot on target before he was withdrawn.
Milan took an lead when Theo Hernandez unleashed a rocket of a volley from over 20 metres out, it ricochet off the upright, but hit Atalanta’s goalkeeper Juan Musso on the back and went into the net.
Veteran Zlatan Ibrahimovic came on for his season debut in the second half, having been out since undergoing knee surgery in May 2022, and immediately made history as the oldest Milan player in Serie A.
Junior Messias doubled Milan’s lead late in the game with fine finish, moments after missing a glorious opportunity to score.
The defeat deals a big blow to Atalanta’s hope of playing in the UEFA Champions League next season.
