Fatawu Issahaku Delighted After Spectacular Strike in Leicester’s Comeback Win Over Swansea
Leicester City winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has expressed his joy after netting a stunning goal in the Foxes’ 3-1 victory over Swansea City on Saturday, a result that strengthens their Championship promotion ambitions.
The Ghanaian winger produced a moment of brilliance — his third goal of the season — as the Foxes overturned an early deficit to claim all three points.
“Yes, it always feels good to win games and it feels bad to lose games,” Issahaku told the club’s media after the match.
“I said it last week — it’s good when you take points from some games because you need them as the league goes on. We got the win today, now we go for national team duty, and we’ll come back and keep going.”
The 21-year-old has been in fine form this campaign after recovering from a long-term injury that disrupted his momentum last season. His explosive pace and flair have once again made him a key figure in Leicester’s attacking setup.
Reflecting on his goal, the Ghanaian winger admitted that the emotion of the moment took over. “It was a great feeling when the ball hit the back of the net — it’s what I wanted. I didn’t know where to go, so I just ran to the bench because they give us so much support.”
Having registered three goals and one assist so far this season, Issahaku’s resurgence comes at the perfect time as he joins the Black Stars camp ahead of Ghana’s decisive 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against the Central African Republic and Comoros.
