Ademola Lookman paid tribute to Papa Bouba Diop as he scored in Fulham’s shock 2-1 win at Leicester on Monday.

The 23-year-old opened the scoring for Scott Parker’s side in the 30th minute and went straight to the sidelines to hold up Diop’s Senegal shirt.

Lookman paid tribute to the late midfielder

The former Fulham midfielder, who played for the club between 2004 and 2007, died at the age of 42 on the weekend after a long battle with illness.

The Cottagers were then awarded a penalty after Simon Hooper was advised by VAR to check his pitchside monitor for Christian Fuchs’ foul on Bobby Decordova-Reid.

Lookman, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Ivan Cavaleiro had already missed from the spot this season, however, the latter converted from 12 yards to double Fulham’s lead before the break.

Harvey Barnes pulled a goal back for Leicester in the 86th minute, but it was not enough to prevent back-to-back Premier League defeats for Brendan Rodgers’ men.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
