Ghana international, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku put on a show on Tuesday night as he inspired Leicester City to demolish Southampton 5-0 in the English Championship.
The on-loan attacker started for his team on Tuesday, in a Round 38 encounter of the league campaign.
In a game played at the King Power Stadium, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku opened the scoring with a composed finish in the 25th minute after he was put through on goal by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
That goal separated the two teams at halftime before Leicester came back from the break to run riot over Southampton.
A Wilfred Ndidi equalizer in the 62nd minute doubled the lead for the Foxes before Abdul Fatawu Issahaku got his second of the day in the 75th minute.
After that goal, veteran Leicester hero Jamie Vardy picked his moment to also get on the scoresheet in the 79th minute when Issahaku found him with a through pass.
Later in the 81st minute, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku put the icing on the cake when he scored from close range to seal a 5-0 win for Leicester City while completing a sensational hat-trick for himself.
The big victory has taken Leicester City closer to securing automatic qualification to the English Premier League.
