Leicester Ends Birmingham Unbeaten Run With 2-0 Championship Win

Leicester City secured a 2-0 victory over Birmingham City at the King Power Stadium, ending Birmingham's unbeaten start to the Championship season. Ghanaian international Abdul Fatawu Issahaku scored an early goal with a well-placed curler, marking his second consecutive match with a goal and earning him Player of the Match honors. Ricardo Pereira sealed the win late in the game, capitalizing on an assist from 16-year-old substitute Jeremy Monga. Despite Birmingham's efforts, including a pressing style and a debut from Lewis Koumas, they struggled to generate clear-cut chances, compounded by the absence of their key attacker Jay Stansfield. The win lifts Leicester to third in the table with three wins from four matches, while Birmingham sits seventh after their first league defeat. Fatawu, who previously impressed with 6 goals and 13 assists during Leicester's promotion season, will be assessed for an injury sustained during the match but looks set to be a key player as Leicester aims for a quick return to the Premier League.
