Ghanaian duo Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku were the heroes for Leicester City on Monday night, combining to secure a hard-fought 2\u20131 victory over West Bromwich Albion in the English Championship.<\/p>\n
Playing at the King Power Stadium, Ayew gave the Foxes an early advantage in the 18th minute, reacting quickest to a cut-back from Jordan James and finishing with determination. West Brom responded before the break, as Karlan Grant calmly found the net in the 34th minute to restore parity.<\/p>\n
Just when the contest seemed headed for a draw, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku delivered the decisive moment deep into injury time. The winger calmly converted after being set up by Stephy Mavididi, sealing all three points for Leicester City.<\/p>\n
Ayew\u2019s strike takes his 2026 tally to one goal and one assist, while Fatawu\u2019s goal is his first of the year and his fifth of the 2025\/26 Championship season.<\/p>\n
Leicester City currently sit 12th on the Championship table with 37 points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
