  EPL: Lookman Scores, Pays Tribute To Bouba Diop By Sampson Adedeji Fulham FC surprisingly defeated Leicester City 1-2 at the King Power stadium on Monday night with Nigeria trio of Ola Aina, Tosin Adarabioyo and Ademola Lookman contributing their quotas to the victory, BSNSports.com.ng reports. England born, Nigeria descent, Lookman raced through on goal this evening and fired past Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to open the scorer sheet in the 30th minute. Cavaleiro added the second goal 8 minute later and ensured that Fulham were comfortable going into the half time. Barnes reduced the tally in the 86th minute before Lookman was subbed off in the 90th minute of the encounter. Apart from scoring the opening goal, Lookman paid tributes to former Senegalese and Fulham midfielder Pape Bouba Diop who passed away on Sunday. Diop also enjoyed stints with West Ham and Birmingham, so the legacy that he left in England spans across the country, but Fulham were the team for which he made the most appearances for in his career.
