Ghana international Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has expressed his disappointment following Leicester City defeat to Aston Villa in the Premier League.

The Black Stars winger lasted 68 minutes as the Foxes succumbed to 2-1 defeat at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Belgium international Amadou Onana opened the scoring for Aston Villa in the 28th minute mark as they went to the halftime break with the advantage.

The visitors doubled their advantage in the second half after Jhon Duran found the back of the net in the 63rd minute mark.

Leicester City pulled one back in the 73rd minute through Facundo Buonanotte as they succumbed to defeat.

“Thanks for the fans for their amazing support a Hard one to take but we learn some positive things from it and we focus on the next” he wrote on Instagram.
