With Brighton drawing level on 71 minutes, the game went into penalties which saw the Foxes triumph 4-2.
And following the win, Lookman was rated seven out of 10 with Iheanacho, who replaced Lookman On 73 minutes, getting five.
And commenting on Lookman’s performance, Leicester Mercury wrote: “Really bright once again. Receiving the ball to feet and carrying it forward at pace, he was a real threat, while his link-up with Barnes in particular was very good. He showed great awareness and agility for his goal too, nipping in when many players would have been caught on their heels.”
And for Iheanacho: “Bar one nice pass for Daka, Iheanacho was quiet in his 20 minutes on the pitch.”

This is the player Pinnick should really be struggling to add to the SE if truely he is after the success of SE and not the success of his pocket alone……. Public office holders should at least put the interest of the masses at heart once in a while…….I know they have responsibilities and bills to pay but making your troops Excell automatically brings more fortunes to your household…….Go after the success of SE first and cash will flow in.
