Ghanaian midfielder Abdul Fatawu Issahaku was very instrumental as his Leicester City side defeated QPR 2-1 on Saturday in the English Championship.

The on-loan Sporting Lisbon midfielder played a vital role as QPR were reduced to 10-men as Andre Dozzel saw red.

Harry Winks scored his first goal since January 2022 as Championship leaders Leicester City left it late to beat 10-man Queens Park Rangers.

Midfielder Winks struck in the 80th minute as the Foxes won a ninth league game in a row, a seventh out of seven on the road and a 13th from 14 games this season.

Stephy Mavididi had put the visitors in front before Andre Dozzell equalised for QPR before half-time.

But Dozzell was sent off just before the hour mark for two bookings in a clash with Abdul Fatawu, and his team could not hang on without him, falling to a sixth straight defeat as Gareth Ainsworth's struggling side remain 23rd.

However, the Foxes did go in front through Mavididi as he cut inside and found the net with a deflected effort.

But the home side responded when Dozzell was on hand to score after Lyndon Dykes' header was cleared off the line.

Begovic saved from Winks before the break and then Fatawu just after as the Foxes looked to regain command.

And their task was made easier when QPR goalscorer Dozzell fouled Fatawu. The Foxes man reacted and when Dozzell pushed him to the ground, Dozzell was shown two yellow cards and then a red, while Fatawu was booked for his involvement.

Leicester were already dominating possession and that only intensified with a man extra, with Fatawu and Casadei going close.
