'Everyone Knows He Can Score Goals' - Fulham Star Lookman On Maja, Historic Win Vs Everton
Published: February 15, 2021Ademola Lookman has reflected on Fulham's 2-0 win against Everton in the Premier League on Sunday night.
The Cottagers secured a historic win over the Toffees, their first at Goodison Park in the Premier League, thanks to Josh Maja's predatory instincts in front of goal.
Lookman was heavily involved in both goals scored by Maja, the RB Leipzig loanee bagged a secondary assist for the first goal and for the second he passed to Harrison Reed, who unleashed a shot from range that struck the post and Maja was in the right place to tap the ball home.
"It was a well-deserved three points. We dominated large parts of the game and created lots of chances," Lookman was quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
"I'm happy for Josh Maja as well. Everyone knows he can score goals. We need to score goals.
"I've said before if we stick together and put the ball in the back of the net, we'll win games. We showed that today.
"We kept believing. At half-time we said we'll do the exact same thing in the second half and we scored twice.
"Our defence kept it strong towards the end of the game and we saw it out.
"It gives the team a boost of confidence and we'll take that into the next game."
