Fatawu Issahaku marked his Premier League debut with an assist as Leicester City battled back to earn a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur on Monday night at the King Power Stadium. Leicester, newly promoted to the top flight, struggled in the first half as Spurs dominated and took the lead through Pedro Porro. The visitors continued to control the game early in the second half until Leicester equalised through their iconic striker Jamie Vardy. Initially ruled out of the match, Vardy declared himself fit and scored a well-taken goal after a brilliant cross from Ghanaian sensation Issahaku.

Vardy's goal spurred Leicester on, and he nearly added a second. However, a concussion suffered by Rodrigo Bentancur disrupted Leicester's momentum, allowing Tottenham to regain control.
