Black Stars winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku scored his seventh goal of the season in stunning fashion, though his individual brilliance was not enough to prevent Leicester City from suffering a damaging 2-1 defeat to Birmingham City in the Championship.
The 21-year-old Ghanaian international showcased his exceptional technique in the 22nd minute, expertly controlling a cleared ball with his chest before unleashing a powerful half-volley into the roof of the net. The spectacular strike brought Leicester level temporarily, serving as a highlight in a challenging match.
Despite Issahaku's goal—his latest in a growing collection of eye-catching finishes—Leicester succumbed to another loss. The defeat compounds a difficult period for the Foxes, who were recently docked six points for breaching the league's financial regulations.
The combination of the points deduction and this result leaves Leicester in 21st place in the 24-team Championship table, dangerously close to the relegation zone.
The match also featured a milestone for another Ghanaian winger, with Birmingham City's Ibrahim Osman scoring his debut goal for the club since joining on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion.
Issahaku has been a consistent performer for Leicester this season, contributing seven goals and seven assists in 30 Championship appearances. His form will be crucial as Leicester prepares for a critical fixture against Southampton on Tuesday, February 10, in their battle to climb away from the bottom of the table.
