Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has won the Goal of the Month for August in the English Championship. 

The Leicester City forward's sensational curler against Charlton Athletic in the 1-0 victory secured the most votes to win him the award.

Issahaku, a key figure in Leicester early promotion bid, described the award as special while also praising his teammates for their effort in his latest achievement.

“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.”
