Ghanaian internationals Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku both found the net as Leicester City edged past West Bromwich Albion 2–1 in a tense Championship encounter on Monday night.
Playing in front of their home supporters at the King Power Stadium, the Foxes made a bright start and were rewarded in the 18th minute when Fatawu Issahaku broke the deadlock with a composed finish.
West Brom responded with purpose and drew level before the interval through Karlan Grant, who clinically converted to restore parity for the visitors.
The second half unfolded as a tightly contested affair, with both sides pushing for a decisive moment. Just as the match appeared destined to end all square, Fatawu struck again late on, pouncing to hand Leicester all three points and cap a spirited display from Martí Cifuentes’ side.
The victory lifts Leicester City to 12th on the Championship table with 37 points. They face Cheltenham Town this weekend before a challenging trip to the Coventry Building Society Arena to take on league leaders Coventry City, who feature fellow Ghanaian Brandon Thomas-Asante.
Ayew and Fatawu will be keen to sustain their strong form as they continue their push for inclusion in Otto Addo’s final squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
