The question ‘Who will score the first hat trick in a men’s European club final since 1975?’ found an unlikely answer Wednesday. Ademola Lookman scored all three goals in Atalanta’s 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen. Each of the goals that won the Europa League title had something to admire.

Lookman also had been a winger at Everton, yet also slipped through the net there after being allowed out on loan to Leipzig and then sold.

Made things simpler in my mind, play my game in a different light.”
