Jordan Ayew’s late goal not enough as Leicester lose at home to Chelsea

Black Stars forward, Jordan Ayew, scored a late consolation for Leicester City in their 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at the King Power Stadium on Saturday in the Premier League.

The 33-year-old netted an added time penalty for his third league goal this season after coming on for the last 19 minutes of the game.

Nicholas Jackson scored his fifth goal in four consecutive away games after the Senegalese got the better of defender Wout Faes inside 15 minutes.

Enzo Fernandez then headed in from close range on the rebound, after goalkeeper Mads Hermansen saved Jackson's initial effort, to seal the win.

Jordan Ayew converted a late penalty for the Foxes in the 95th minute after Romeo Lavia fouled Bobby de Cordova-Reid in the box.

With his three goals, Ayew is one away from equaling his tally from 35 games last season with Crystal Palace.

He missed Ghana’s final 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Niger with an injury after scoring a stunning free kick in the Angola draw.
