Everton fans applaud Ademola Lookman after goal for Fulham on Sunday afternoon

Ademola Lookman scored for Fulham on Sunday afternoon as the Cottagers earned their first Premier League point of the 2020-21 campaign with a 1-1 draw against Sheffield United – and Everton supporters have reacted on Twitter.

Fulham have been disappointing since their return to the Premier League, after a play-off win over Brentford. In the four matches before Sunday’s draw against the Blades, they had conceded an enormous 11 goals – scoring only three.

But they looked more assured on Sunday, though the game could have gone either way. A moment of brilliance from Lookman saw Fulham take the lead in the second 45, and with Fulham leading in the last 10 minutes, they will be disappointed not to win.

Lookman, 22, joined Fulham on loan earlier this summer and was handed his first start – after falling down the pecking order at RB Leipzig despite having a hand in nine goals during his 24 appearances for the ambitious Bundesliga side.

He joined Leipzig from Everton where he played 48 times, but was clearly not fancied by Sam Allardyce who loaned him out – before Marco Silva sold him permanently for £22.5million (BBC). Now, he will be looking to reignite his career in west London.

He certainly made a good start on Sunday with his mazy run and powerful left-footed effort. Everton supporters reacted to the news that Lookman had scored an excellent goal against Sheffield United, and many questioned the decision to let him go.
