By Daniel ODURO, USA
Ghana International Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has said words are unable to describe his level of excitement after scoring his first goal for Leicester City in the English Championship over the weekend.
The Black Stars player opened his goal account with Leicester City after scoring in an impressive win over Swansea City in the English Championship.
The youngster after switching camps from Sporting Lisbon to the Foxes has proved to be an impressive addition showcasing his playmaking skills in previous matches to propel the team to record vital wins in the past.
On Saturday afternoon, he finally found the back of the net with a stunning strike to get his team into the lead after Swansea City had scored the first goal of the game.
Matt Grimes struck the opening goal in the 20th minute to get the first goal of the game but Leicester City levelled the score through Jannik Vestergaard on the cusp of halftime.
Issahaku’s trike proved pivotal as it established the foundation of a great comeback win having scored in the 63rd minute.
Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho cemented the win with another goal in the 87th minute to secure a 3-1 victory for the former Premier League champions.
Speaking after the game, Issahaku said, “I can’t even explain how I am feeling right now. Iheanacho always tells me to score so I scored.”
Issahaku is hoping to continue in his impressive form as the Foxes continue to embark on a mission to return to the Premier League.
