Ghana winger, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has been named in the Premier League Team of the Week after a standout performance in Leicester City’s thrilling comeback victory against Southampton.
Issahaku came off the bench to help turn the tide for the Foxes, who were trailing by two goals at St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday. His presence on the field was instrumental in Leicester’s remarkable 3-2 win.
The Ghana international made an immediate impact, assisting Facundo Buonanotte’s goal in the 64th minute to kickstart Leicester’s comeback.
He almost found the net himself with a powerful shot that struck the crossbar, just before Jamie Vardy equalized from the penalty spot.
The game was ultimately decided in stoppage time when Jordan Ayew, another Ghanaian, scored the winning goal for the visitors.
During his 31-minute cameo, Issahaku had the most touches in the opposition’s box, constantly posing a threat down the right flank and shifting the momentum in Leicester’s favour.
Below is the Team of Week 8
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.
