Standout star lifts Leicester City past Ipswich Town | OneFootball

Abdul Fatawu turned the game in the 43rd minute with a left-footed rocket into the roof of the net from distance, as Leicester City beat Ipswich Town 3-1.

The winger struck from more than 35 yards on a fast break, taking aim early and driving high past Christian Walton to tilt the momentum decisively.

He kept stretching the Tractor Boys' back line after the restart, timing runs beyond the defence and being flagged offside (69.). The Foxes continued to funnel transitions his way to exploit the space.

Fatawu remained a constant outlet late on, seeing another run halted by an offside flag (86.). He then won a free kick in the second minute of stoppage time after a foul by Jack Clarke, relieving pressure and allowing Leicester to reset.

He finished with four attempts, two on target, plus four tackles, eight possessions won and 10 recoveries, underlining how his work rate matched his end product.

Because Leicester found him early in transition and isolated full-backs, his direct running repeatedly unsettled Ipswich and ensured the Foxes controlled the key phases.

The Foxes rise from 13th to eighth in the Championship and visit Queens Park Rangers next. The Tractor Boys, now fifth, host Sheffield Wednesday.
