Watch Fatawu's assist, as shared on X:

It was Fatawu's first goal contribution of the season following his involvement in Ipswich's 2-1 victory over Sunderland, a match in which he failed to register either a goal or an assist.

Data from Flashscore underlined just how influential the Ghanaian was in the contest.

He completed three successful dribbles, created two big chances and contributed two key passes in the first 45 minutes.

Defensively, he won four ground duels, won one tackle and made two recoveries — a full-game display that extended beyond the assist alone.

As expected, fans flooded social media to celebrate the Ghana international. YEN.com.gh has compiled some reactions from X:
