Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, a winger for Ghana, was selected for the Premier League Team of the Week following an outstanding performance in Leicester City’s exciting comeback victory over Southampton.
At St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday, the Foxes were behind by two goals when Issahaku came off the substitute to aid them rally. He played a crucial role in Leicester’s incredible 3-2 victory.
With his assist on Facundo Buonanotte’s goal in the 64th minute to start Leicester’s comeback, the Ghanaian international made an early impression.
Jamie Vardy equalized from the penalty spot, but not before he nearly found the net himself with a strong drive that hit the crossbar.
Another Ghanaian, Jordan Ayew, gave the visitors the victory in stoppage time, ultimately deciding the match.
Issahaku had the most touches in the opposition’s box during his 31-minute cameo, continuously threatening down the right flank and turning the tide in Leicester’s favor.
Abdul Fatawu Issahaku will hope to keep his place in the squad when they host Nottingham Forest on Friday night at the King Power Stadium.
