One can only imagine what Scott Parker said to Ademola Lookman inside the Fulham dressing room after Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to West Ham.The Fulham boss watched in horror as Lookman produced a contender for the worst penalty in Premier League history.The Cottagers were awarded a dramatic penalty deep into stoppage time and subsequently had the chance to secure a precious point at the London Stadium.Tomas Soucek had put West Ham 1-0 up just minutes earlier, but referee Robert Jones pointed to the spot after Said Benrahma caught Tom Cairney inside the box.Rather than picking his spot or blasting the ball, Lookman opted for the Panenka, which is always a risky move.And unfortunately, it would prove to be one of the worst mistakes of his career so far.p1emiig32q1olt1qkonml14l11nr5r.jpgPlayers always look silly whenever they fail to score a Panenka, but Lookman’s attempt was a total shocker.The winger, who is on loan at Craven Cottage from RB Leipzig, didn’t get enough contact on the ball, which allowed West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski to make one of the easiest penalty saves you’ll ever see.West Ham’s players celebrated wildly as Fabianski gathered the ball. They couldn’t believe their luck.Lookman understandably looked completely devastated as the final whistle blew.But the first person to console the former England Under-21 international was West Ham defender Fabian Balbuena, rather than one of his teammates.p1emiicad6h27e8ta76pdqt3en.jpgThe Paraguayan gave the crestfallen Lookman a hug and was praised by football fans on social media for his sportsmanship.

A real touch of class there from the South American.

Meanwhile, Parker spoke about the penalty incident in his post-match press conference and has backed Lookman to come back stronger.

“It’s so raw and my emotions are disappointment and anger,” he was quoted saying by Fulham’s website. “Ade [Lookman] is a young player and you make mistakes; you need to learn by those. That’s where Ade is tonight. Anyone can miss a penalty but if you decide to take a penalty like that it needs to hit the back of the net. He needs to understand that, he’s been fantastic since he’s been here.”

He added: “The character in him will need to dust himself down and learn from tonight and not hide. Ade’s made a mistake tonight: not because he’s missed the penalty but when you take a penalty like that in that moment of the game you put yourself on show.

“He’ll bounce back well; I know he will. He’s an unbelievable character. A great pro who wants to learn. The team will get around him, we move on. It’s a young team with young players who are learning. We need to learn fast and keep improving.”
