Issahaku, who is on loan from Sporting Lisbon, came off the bench in the 64th minute and made an instant impact with his pace and brought a lot of energy to the attack. The game, however, went into extra time.

The decisive moment came in the first half of extra time when Issahaku received the ball on the edge of the opponent's area and unleashed a powerful left-footed shot that curled into the top corner, leaving the keeper with no chance.

Issahaku was rightly awarded the Man Of The Match award for his match-winning performance. He has now bagged four goals and assists in his last six appearances for Leicester since joining them. He has been a bright spark in the Leicester City side and is expected to be signed permanently by the Championship club in the summer.
