Abdul Fatawu Issahaku delivered a dazzling reminder of his immense talent on Saturday afternoon, scoring a sensational goal as Leicester City brushed aside Swansea City 3–1 in the English Championship.
The Ghanaian winger, freshly recalled to the Black Stars setup by coach Otto Addo ahead of this month’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers against the Central African Republic and Comoros, lit up the King Power Stadium with a moment of brilliance that underlined his resurgent form.

After Leicester’s early breakthrough from Jordan James in the 13th minute, the visitors clawed level midway through the second half when Adam Idah finished coolly to make it 1–1. But Issahaku quickly restored order, lashing an unstoppable drive from the edge of the penalty area that flew past the helpless goalkeeper. It was his third goal of the campaign, and arguably his best yet.
The 21-year-old nearly doubled his tally minutes later, smashing the crossbar with another fierce strike that had the home crowd on their feet. His lively, inventive display proved pivotal as the Foxes snapped a frustrating four-game winless spell and climbed back into the top three of the Championship standings.
For Issahaku, the performance was more than just a confidence boost, it was a statement. Having battled back from a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury, the former Sporting CP prodigy now looks sharper and more determined than ever.
“The only way to celebrate was to come to the bench.” – Abdul after scoring his screamer 😆
