After an incredible season in which Lookman drove them to tears, Xabi Alonso's team finally ran out of steam. Lookman opened the score with a back-post finish on minute 12 and doubled the lead with a breathtaking curling attempt on minute 14.
With a forceful left-footed shot into the top corner to complete his historic treble, he made history by becoming the first player to ever score a hat-trick in a Europa League final.
