Ghanaian youngster Abdul Fatawu Issahaku continued his fine form at Leicester City in their slim victory over Sunderland in the English Championship on Tuesday night.
Leicester City overcame a stubborn Sunderland side to move eight points clear at the top of the Championship table with their eighth consecutive league win.
James Justin leapt highest at the near post to meet a corner with a towering header to put the hosts ahead early in the 12th minute of the game.
Twice goalkeeper Anthony Patterson pushed Leicester efforts on to the post as they searched for a second before half-time, first foiling Stephy Mavididi before getting a touch on a Kelechi Iheanacho shot.
Sunderland were then controversially denied a penalty kick just before the break, with Wout Faes appearing to bring down Daniel Neil with a sliding tackle.
Patterson continued to frustrate the hosts after the break, with crucial saves from Cesare Casadei, but the Black Cats failed to find an equaliser as they suffered a third consecutive defeat to drop to ninth in the table.
Fatawu Issahaku, who joined the Foxes on a season-long loan deal from Sporting CP, lasted for 80 minutes of the game for Leicester City against Sunderland.
He has scored one goal and provided an assist in nine league appearances for Leicester City in his debut season.
