Lookman delighted being Leicester matchwinner against Liverpool

Leicester City midfielder Ademola Lookman was delighted to prove the matchwinner against Liverpool yesterday.

After Mohamed Salah failed from the spot for Liverpool, Lookman struck for the only goal of the game.

Lookman later said, “Three points were very important for us, as well as a great game as a team.

"I'm not sure if the coach was planning my substitution, but it was important for me to come out and help the team. I got the ball and did something unusual when I got into the box. Hit early and managed to get past the goalkeeper."

Lookman, on-loan from RB Leipzig, added: "Moving to Leicester on a full-time basis ... It's about staying in the moment and not thinking about the future. I need to continue to work hard every single day."
