Abdul Fatawu Issahaku (forward) celebrates his spectacular match-winning strike.
Ghana midfielder Mohammed Kudus has lauded his international teammate Abdul Fatawu Issahaku after the youngster’s spectacular match-winning strike secured Leicester City a 1-0 victory over Charlton Athletic on Saturday.
Issahaku, who has been growing in confidence at Leicester, produced a moment of brilliance when he curled in a superb effort to hand the Foxes all three points.
The goal proved decisive, ending Leicester’s frustrating nine-game winless streak away from home and lifting morale within the squad and among supporters.
Reacting to the performance, Kudus took to the social media platform X to applaud the 20-year-old winger for his resilience and quality.
“Abdul, so proud to see your hard work after a huge setback pay off. Keep on,” the Tottenham Hotspur star posted.
Issahaku has endured challenging spells with injuries and inconsistent form but has consistently shown flashes of his raw talent.
Saturday’s wonder strike is being widely regarded as a statement of intent as he looks to cement a regular place in Leicester’s line-up this season.
His progress will also be closely monitored by Black Stars head coach Otto Addo, with Ghana preparing for crucial World Cup qualifiers next month.
Issahaku’s ability to deliver in decisive moments provides a timely boost for both club and country.
