Ghana striker, Jordan Ayew was the hero as Leicester City pulled off a thrilling 3-2 comeback win against Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday.
Ayew shone on his return to club football after the Black Stars’ disappointing results in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Sudan.
The former Crystal Palace forward scored a dramatic injury-time winner, helping the Foxes rally from two goals down to clinch victory over the Saints.
Southampton took a commanding lead in the first half, with Cameron Archer and Joe Aribo scoring to put the home side ahead before the break.
Leicester began their comeback in the second half when Facundo Buonanotte found the net in the 64th minute, assisted by Ghanaian winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku.
The visitors then drew level in the 74th minute, thanks to a penalty converted by veteran forward Jamie Vardy.
In a thrilling finale, Ayew, who joined Leicester this summer, made a decisive impact by scoring in injury time after being set up by Harry Winks.
His goal secured a memorable win for the Foxes and marked his first goal for the club in seven Premier League appearances.
Both Ayew and Issahaku came off the bench after returning from international duty and played pivotal roles in the comeback.
The duo will aim to inspire Leicester again when they face Nottingham Forest at the King Power Stadium on Friday, October 25.
