Fatawu Issahaku’s Thunderbolt Not Enough as Leicester Sink Deeper into Trouble

Black Stars winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku continued his fine run of form with another spectacular goal, netting his seventh league strike of the season in Leicester City’s 2-1 defeat to Birmingham City.

The 21-year-old produced a moment of brilliance in the 22nd minute, expertly controlling a poor clearance with his chest before unleashing a fierce shot into the roof of the net. The stunning finish briefly lifted the Foxes, but it ultimately proved to be only a consolation goal on a difficult afternoon.

The match also saw fellow Ghanaian winger Ibrahim Osman make headlines, as he scored his first goal for Birmingham City following his loan move from Brighton & Hove Albion.

Fatawu has now recorded an impressive seven goals and seven assists in 30 Championship appearances this season, underlining his growing influence despite Leicester’s struggles.

Leicester City’s problems were compounded by a six-point deduction for financial fair play breaches before the game. The defeat leaves them 21st in the 24-team Championship table, with pressure mounting ahead of their next fixture against Southampton on Tuesday, February 10.
