Ghanaian youngster Abdul Fatwu Issahaku scored a hat-trick for Leicester City in their league win over Southampton on Tuesday night.

The left-footed attacker was involved in four goals on the night as the Foxes recorded a 5-0 victory at the King Power Stadium over the Saints.

The Ghanaian opened the scoring for the home side after 25 minutes played as he curled one past the Southampton goalkeeper after being put through by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Leicester went into the break with a 1-0 lead but should have had more from the game.

Wilfred Ndidi doubled the lead after the break with Stephy Mavididi setting up the Nigerian.

Issahaku got back onto the scoresheet for his fifth league goal of the campaign with a brilliant hit to make it 3-0 in the 75th minute.

Four minutes later, he assisted Jamie Vardy - the second time in their last two games - to score the fourth on the night.

The Sporting CP loanee completed his hat-trick in the 81st minute as Vardy returned the earlier favour to make it 5-0 for Enzo Maresca's side.

With his three goals and assist against Southampton, Issahaku has now been directly involved in 18 goals in his first season in English football, scoring six times and providing 12 assists.

The result also means the Foxes are one win away from winning the Championship with two games to go.
