Atalanta vs. Bayer Leverkusen live score, result, stats, lineups from Europa League as Lookman hat-trick stuns Alonso's invincibles

Atalanta surged into a 3-0 lead in the UEFA Europa League final thanks to Ademola Lookman's stunning hat-trick, leaving Bayer Leverkusen's hopes of completing an incredible invincible season in tatters.

Xabi Alonso's Bundesliga champions completed their undefeated league campaign with a 2-1 win over Augsburg at the weekend and they had not been beaten in any of their 51-games this term.

But Gian Piero Gasperini's side started by far the stronger at Dublin's Aviva Stadium and their pressure was rewarded when Lookman converted Davide Zappacosta's low cross to crown a lovely team move.

The former RB Leipzig winger's second goal was a stunning solo effort as he nutmegged Granit Xhaka and fired into the bottom right corner from the edge of the area.
