Fatawu marks Premier League debut with assist as Leicester hold Spurs

Ghana’s Fatawu Issahaku marked his first appearance in the English Premier League with an assist for Leicester City in their 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur at the King Power Stadium on Monday night.

The 20-year-old, who was named in the starting lineup by boss Steve Cooper, delivered a pinpoint cross into the 18-yard box which was headed home by marksman Jamie Vardy on 58 minutes.

The goal was an equalizer for the Foxes after Pedro Porro had put Spurs in front around half the hour mark.

Vardy had an opportunity to give Leicester the lead but his shot was well saved by Guglielmo Vicario.

Wilfred Ndidi also came close to scoring with his effort hitting the side netting.

Spurs had been the better team in the first half having created several opportunities but failed to make them count and have to settle for a point.

Leicester travel to Craven Cottage for Fulham clash in their next Premier League fixture.
