VIDEO: Fatawu Issahaku’s debut goal drives Leicester to 3-1 triumph at Swansea

Ghanaian rising star Abdul Fatawu Issahaku scored his debut goal for Leicester City in their triumphant comeback against Swansea City in the 2023/24 English Championship on Saturday.

The game initially favoured Swansea, who took the lead with a deflected volley by Matt Grimes from the edge of the box in the 20th minute.

However, Leicester City’s Jannik Vestergaard evened the score just before halftime.

Continuing their dominance in the second half, the Foxes’ relentless pressure was rewarded with their second goal in the 63rd minute.

It was Fatawu’s turn to shine as he skillfully blasted the ball into the net after a clever dummy by Nigerian midfielder Wilfried Ndidi set him up. Watch goal:
