Gian Piero GasperinI has supported Ademola Lookman’s goal celebration against Udinese which he received a yellow card for.

Ademola Lookman scored the first goal for Atalanta in the 2-2 draw against Udinese. Lookman did his new-found ‘binoculars’ goal celebration, cupping his eyes with his hands, but he was shown a yellow card for this celebration by referee Daniele Doveri.

However, veteran manager Gasperini has defended his star player saying he was “misinterpreted” and he is not a player who stirs up violence or trouble.

“It was misinterpreted, he is not a lad who tries to stir up trouble,” Gasperini told DAZN as reported by Football Italia.

This insinuates that Lookman wasn’t targeting Atalanta fans in his celebration but may as well be from the theory of his name ‘Look’.
