Leicester City claimed a commanding 3-1 victory over Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon as Jordan Ayew and Fatawu Issahaku delivered decisive performances in the Championship’s 21st round.
The Foxes controlled large spells of the contest and relied on the quality of their Ghanaian internationals to secure all three points.
Their display strengthened Leicester’s position in the league table and confirmed their growing consistency at this stage of the season.
Fatawu Issahaku, the 21-year-old right winger, continued his impressive campaign by scoring Leicester’s second goal in the 43rd minute.
He timed his movement well and finished with confidence, rewarding another energetic and disciplined performance. His goal gave Leicester a firm grip on the match before the interval.
Jordan Ayew extended the advantage shortly after the restart. The experienced forward struck in the 52nd minute to make it 3-0, using his composure and awareness to punish Ipswich and remove any lingering doubt about the outcome.
Ayew’s contribution reflected his importance to the side, even as he balances experience with limited starting opportunities.
Ipswich managed to reduce the deficit late in the game, but Leicester maintained control and prevented any serious threat to their lead.
The final whistle confirmed a deserved win that lifted Leicester to eighth place in the standings on 31 points.
On an individual level, Issahaku has now started 21 matches this season, producing four goals and six assists.
His consistency and attacking output have made him one of Leicester’s most influential wide players.
Ayew, meanwhile, has featured in 19 matches but started only 14 of them.
Despite that, he has matched Issahaku’s goal tally with four goals and added one assist, underlining his efficiency when called upon.
The performances of both players highlight the continued impact of Ghanaian footballers at club level.
This success contrasts sharply with the current situation of the Ghana national team, which will miss the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Attention has instead shifted toward World Cup ambitions, where established figures such as Ayew and emerging talents like Issahaku will carry expectations on the global stage.
Saturday’s result served as another reminder that Ghanaian talent continues to influence matches across Europe, even as national priorities evolve.
