Ghana teen sensation Abdul Fatawu Issahaku registered two assists when Leicester City recorded a five-goal thriller win at Birmingham City in the English Championship on Monday evening.

Leicester City turned up the heat at the top of the Championship - looking breathtaking at times as they beat Birmingham City at St Andrew's.

Fatawu Issahaku brilliantly teed up English winger Stephy Mavididi to open the score for the Foxes in the 10th minute of the game.

Birmingham City responded quickly through Jordan James' cool finish in the 14th minute before the visitors restored their lead six minute later.

The on-loan Sporting CP teen forward registered his second assist after a well-delivered pass to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to make it 2-1 before the break.

Five minutes after the break, Stephy Mavididi extended their lead when he curled in a deflected shot into the back of the hosts' net.

Wales international Jordan James gave Blues hope with his second goal of the night, a right-foot chip that also took a crucial deflection - but the Foxes were never threatened again as they stretched their lead to three points over second-placed Ipswich Town.

Fatawu Issahaku enjoyed the entire duration of the game with a scintillating display for Leicester City.

In his debut season at the King Power Stadium outfit, Fatawu Issahaku has scored two goals and provided five assists in 18 Championship games.
