Iheanacho, Lookman in action as Leicester fall short in UECL semifinals against Roma
Published: May 05, 2022Kelechi Iheanacho and Ademola Lookman fired blacks in Leicester City's ouster from the UEFA Conference League semifinals on Thursday night after a 1-0 defeat to AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.
Lookman, who was intrumental to the Foxes' equaliser in the first leg was ineffectual for 45 minutes and was substituted at half time for Ghanaian defender Daniel Amartey.
In another halftime substitution by manager Brendan Rodgers, Iheanacho replaced Harvey Barnes .
The first leg ended 1-1 but onetime Nigeria Football Federation target Tammy Abraham put the Giallorossi ahead barely elebvem minutes into the game with a tidy finish at the near post.
Abraham has thus scored 25 goals in his first season in Italy, as he offered Premier League clubs a reminder of his quality ahead of the summer transfer window.
Roma will face Cyriel Dessers' Feyenoord in the Europa Conference League final after the Dutch giants edged Marseille in the other semi-final, as Mourinho looks to add another European trophy to his collection.
