Ademola Lookman has message for Fulham fans after penalty flop

Fulham attacker Ademola Lookman says he'll fight back from his spot-kick shocker against West Ham.

Six minutes into stoppage-time, Fulham – trailing 1-0 – were handed a lifeline when Said Benrahma tripped Tom Cairney in the area.

But with the last kick of the match, Lookman attempted a Panenka-style penalty and watched in horror as his harmless chip down the middle floated into the arms of Hammers goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.

He tweeted: “After yesterdays mistake, I take full responsibility and onus for it.

“To my team-mates, manager and the supporters I vow to put the next one in. I will not let one failure hold me back."
