Lookman’s Stats against Cameroon
The 26-year-old has been consistent in Cote d’Ivoire and was simply unplayable against the five-time champions, Cameroon, with the stats behind his display underlining his dominance.
Apart from his decisive double, which was the ultimate difference between sides, Lookman created two chances and made two key passes, carving the Lions open, with the notable one late in the game for Alex Iwobi.
The former Everton man also created a big chance while his two goals came from just two shots on target to underline how clinical he was against the hapless Lions.
Lookman’s second goal to cap off his scintillating showing, off a delightful cross from Calvin Bassey, showed the confidence of the Atalanta BC star so far at the AFCON 2023.
After four matches, Lookman, amongst his Nigerian teammates, tops the chart for goals contributed, with three (2 goals, 1 assist). He also leads for big chances created (2), chances created (7), and key passes (6).
