Ademola Lookman says he's happy at Atalanta.

The former Everton attacker scored in victory over Sporting CP last night to set up a Europa League quarterfinal against Liverpool.

"We are very happy, a great match. After the draw in the first leg, it was wonderful to take away the victory," said Lookman.

"We were behind in the first half, but Sporting are a great team and that was their best moment. But then we opened the second half in a great way, with the right mentality and this gave the right direction to the match.

"The fans were top, really top. It's something to be proud of, a marvel to see and experience. You could feel the transport of the whole stadium, especially for us on the pitch. We're happy about it."

Asked if he was happy in Bergamo, Lookman added: "Yes, I'm really happy here."
