Ayew, Fatawu Fire Leicester to Important Win

Date:

Black Stars of Ghana pair Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku helped their club side Leicester City to an important 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion.

Abdul Fatawu scored a 94th-minute volley to snatch a much-needed Championship victory for the Foxes against a well-drilled West Brom side at the King Power Stadium.

Some home fans decided to boycott the match in protest at how owner Khun Aiyawatt ‘Top’ Srivaddhanaprabha has handled the club in recent years.

Jordan Ayew gave the supporters an early reason to celebrate, linking up with Jordan James in the box to sweep home the opening goal from eight yards out.

Karlan Grant equalised for Albion before the break, racing into space on the counter-attack before picking out the bottom corner with a curling finish.

The visitors carved out numerous second-half chances – an Isaac Price effort deflected onto the post while Foxes keeper Jakub Stolarczyk made a string of fine saves after that – before Fatawu slammed home the winner against the run of play in the last minute of stoppage time.
