The Nigeria international ended his goal drought during Tuesday evening’s victory over Manchester United.

The goal ended a run of six consecutive matches without scoring, as the former Atalanta forward reacted quickest to convert the rebound after Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens parried a shot from Jonathan Davies.

The Argentine tactician further acknowledged that the forward was still working towards consistently showcasing his full potential.

“He has not yet reached the stage where this manifests consistently. However, he has regained his scoring proficiency, demonstrated the instinct to follow the play, and the rebound proved advantageous. We secured the victory that was necessary,” he added.

Lookman, who came on in the second half of the match, has endured a challenging start to the season, scoring just one goal across all competitions before the encounter with the Red Devils.
