Fatawu Issahaku gets assist as Leicester City beat Preston to win Championship title

Ghana international Abdul Fatawu Issahaku registered his 20th goal involvement of the season as Leicester City beat Preston North End on Monday evening.

The winger recorded an assist in the 0-3 win for the Foxes on the road as they sealed the Championship title with a game to spare.

A Jamie Vardy brace and another goal from academy graduate Kasey McAteer sealed the title for Enzo Maresca’s side with a game to spare.

Vardy gave Leicester the lead after just 36 minutes played before doubling the lead after the break.

In the 67th minute of the encounter, Issahaku put through McAteer who went in to wrap up the win for the Foxes.

With his assist against Preston, the Ghanaian has now been directly involved in 20 goals in the Championship, scoring seven and providing 13 assists.

Issahaku will be hoping his loan spell will be made permanent at the end of the season with Leicester set to play in the Premier League next season.
