After the game, Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini said: "Lookman was not supposed to take that penalty, he is one of the worst penalty takers I've ever seen.
Lookman's botched spot kick last night was not his first underwhelming penalty.
The Nigeria international's spot kick was saved by Brugge goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, however, with Atalanta going on to lose 3-1 on the night.
Lookman, 27, pulled a goal back in the first minute of the second period, before being handed a golden opportunity to further reduce his side's deficit from the penalty spot.
The former Fulham and Everton star was in action for Atalanta last night as they were dumped out of the Champions League by Club Brugge.
