Ademola Lookman Panenka: What happened?
In the Week 8 Premier League match against West Ham United, Lookman tried a Panenka in the final minutes of the game but missed it.
The incident occurred in the eighth minute of stoppage time, minutes after Tomas Soucek scored a goal to put the Hammers ahead 1-0 in the 91st minute.
Said Benrahma was penalized for a foul on Tom Cairney after a VAR check by Robert Jones, and Lookman stepped up to take the subsequent penalty. However, Lukasz Fabianski made a save from the then-loan RB Leipzig player.
Fulham fan and journalist Archie Rhind-Tutt jokingly recounted how the failed attempt made him feel at the time.
“Ademola Lookman once broke a bowl at my house because of the way a counter-attack went when we were playing against Wolves, not to mention the sleepless night he gave me because of that famous Panenka strike against West Ham,” recalls Rend Tutt. In a segment on ESPN FC.
“But there were always those sparks of a great, talented player and I’m very happy to see him go and do it with Atalanta.”
A sweet moment between Ademola Lookman and his mother after the Europa League final has gone viral.
Lookman’s goals in Wednesday’s final ensure Atalanta’s fourth Champions League appearance regardless of their bottom position in Serie A.
