Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman registered an assist as Atletico Madrid battled to a 1-1 draw against VfB Stuttgart in their UEFA Champions League encounter on Tuesday night.
Lookman started the match on the bench before coming on for Jonathan David and setting up Julian Alvarez for Atletico’s equaliser in the 47th minute.
Stuttgart had taken the lead nine minutes before half-time through Jamie Leweling, leaving Atletico with a deficit to overcome after the break.
However, Lookman made an immediate impact after his introduction, providing the cross that Alvarez converted to restore parity shortly after the restart.
