EPL: Lookman Performance Thrills Leicester City Manager 

Sampson Adedeji

Manager of Leicester City, Brendan Rodgers, has hailed Nigeria's Super Eagles winger, Ademola Lookman, BSNsports.com.ng can report.

The RB Leipzig loanee was the star of the game at the King Power Stadium on Sunday as Foxes defeated Crystal Palace 2-1.

" I thought he was excellent,” Rodgers said after the 2-1 victory on Sunday. “I think that with Ade, he’s been unfortunate, because Barnesy’s played on the left side, so I’ve had to play him on the right. 

But the level he gets to on the left side is higher than the right.

“I was more pleased with his aggression. He’s a talent, but what he was today was competitive, and that’s what you need to be at the highest level.

“I thought overall his football quality was very good. He makes a great movement and scores a great goal.

 But for me, he was aggressive, he was pressing, he was counter-pressing, and then he showed those moments of quality. So I thought he was excellent.”

Lookman has now made 20 starts for City, and 33 appearances in total. As well as his seven goals, he has five assists to his name.
