Lookman makes Champions League debut as RB Leipzig edge past Zenit St. Petersburg

Ademola Lookman made his Champions League debut in RB Leipzig’s 2-1 comeback victory against Zenit St. Petersburg on Wednesday.

The forward secured a permanent move to the Red Bull Arena in the summer from Everton following an impressive loan stint with the Bundesliga side.

The Anglo-Nigerian was handed his third appearance this season and helped Julian Nagelsmann’s side clinch all three points against the Russian club.

Yaroslav Rakitskiy put the visitors in front in the 25th minute before Konrad Laimer levelled for the German outfit four minutes into the second half.
