Leicester City transfer target Ademola Lookman helps Nigeria set new record
Ademola Lookman scored his maiden international goal as Nigeria recorded the biggest win in their history in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying.
The winger, who spent the last season on loan at Leicester City and remains a transfer target this summer, scored the seventh goal of a 10-0 rout by the Super Eagles over Sao Tome and Principe. The result eclipses a 10-1 win for Nigeria over Benin in 1959 that had stood as their record.
Nigeria were only leading 3-0 at the break, but scored five in the 20-minute at the start of the second half to set themselves on their way to the record, which was sealed when Watford forward Emmanuel Dennis scored an injury-time penalty.
