Lookman Targets Swift Response

- Leicester City were left frustrated by Sunday’s 2-1 Premier League loss to Brighton & Hove Albion, says winger Ademola Lookman
- He had a goal disallowed by VAR for offside in the build-up after coming off the bench
- Wilfred Ndidi also had a header ruled out via the same method

Lookman had a goal disallowed by VAR in the second half, as did Wilfred Ndidi after Neal Maupay, Danny Welbeck and Jamie Vardy all found the net. But despite all of their efforts, City were unable to find an all-important equaliser, and returned from the south coast empty handed.

“We pushed and we pushed, to try and get a result out of the game,” the Foxes No.37 said. “It’s just unfortunate that we couldn’t get the three points for the fans here. It was definitely frustrating on the pitch for us, when you put the ball in the net twice and it gets disallowed. It’s more than frustrating.

“We’ve got to bounce back. We go again on Wednesday in the cup, and we’ll look to win that game to progress to the next round. From there, we’ll keep on building.”

Lookman once again made a significant impact from the bench, and although he had a goal chalked off, he is hopeful the Blue Army will be encouraged by his efforts in recent outings.

“I think they’ve seen glimpses,” he said. “I think there’s still more to come from me, there’s a lot more to my game. Obviously, with the minutes I’ve got now, we’ll just keep building and keep on working hard during training to keep on progressing.

“I feel good. I’m getting stronger every single day, and that’s the most important thing. I look forward to every single game. I love playing football.”
