Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku lit up the King Power Stadium with a spectacular long-range strike as Leicester City eased past Ipswich Town 3–1 in the English Championship on Saturday.
Under pressure after managing just four wins in their previous 16 league outings, Leicester responded with an assertive opening.
Bobby De Cordova-Reid set the tone inside eight minutes, unleashing a thunderous 30-yard effort to claim his third goal in as many matches.
Ipswich threatened a swift response when Jack Clarke tested Jakub Stolarczyk, but the Leicester goalkeeper stood firm.
Fatawu later drew a save from a well-struck free-kick before delivering a moment of brilliance shortly before the interval.
Spotting Ipswich goalkeeper Christian Walton off his line, the Ghana international audaciously lofted a left-footed strike from nearly 65 metres, a stunning finish that crowned an impressive first-half display and handed Leicester a commanding lead at the break.
The Foxes extended their advantage after the restart when Ipswich defensive indecision allowed Ricardo Pereira to square for Jordan Ayew, who calmly tapped in his fourth league goal of the season.
Jens Cajuste reduced the deficit in the 71st minute by capitalising on a misplaced goal-kick, but Leicester remained composed to close out the contest and claim only their second home league win since August.
The result lifts Leicester to eighth on the table, three points shy of the play-off places, while Ipswich remain fifth despite suffering just their second defeat in 11 league matches.
Fatawu Issahaku and Jordan Ayew will look to carry their fine form into next weekend’s trip to Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.
