Europa League: Lookman keeps Foxes dreams alive
Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman rescued Leicester City from an home defeat after Lorenzo Pellegrini’s well-worked early goal had put Roma ahead in the first half in their Conference League semi-final first leg.
After an initial flurry of Leicester pressing, Roma settled and took the lead. Nicola Zalewski cut inside from the left and timed his through ball perfectly to release Lorenzo Pellegrini, nutmegging Kasper Schmeichel at the near post.

The Foxes got their Euro dreams back on track when substitute Harvey Barnes getting down the left and flashing across the six-yard box, where a combination of Lookman and Gianluca Mancini bundled over the line.
Meanwhile in Holland, forgotten striker Cyriel Dessers scored his 9th and 10th UECL goals this season to give Holland’s Feyenoord a slim 3-2 win over French side Olympique Marseille while Joe Aribo and Calvin Bassey could not prevent Glasgow Rangers falling to a narrow 1-0 defeat to RB Leipzig in Germany.
