Ghana forward Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has shared his excitement after winning the English Championship Goal of the Month for August.
The Leicester City star scooped the Goal of the Month accolade with his sensational match-winner against Charlton Athletic at The Valley.
“I’m really pleased and very proud to have won Goal of the Month. That goal was special, especially after missing so much football last season," he said after receiving the award.
“It wasn’t just down to me, though; the whole team played well that day. Charlton are a good side, but we fought hard and got the three points.
“Scoring that winner was a reward for all the effort. I always try to give everything, so it means a lot when I manage to score and help the team.
“Thanks to my teammates, the staff, all the fans - their belief drives me on. Let’s keep going and hopefully there are lots more moments like this ahead.”
Issahaku has been pivotal to Leicester this season, scoring two goals and providing an assist in five matches as the Foxes continue their quest for a return to the topflight.
The 21-year-old is expected to start for the Foxes against Coventry on Saturday.
