Fatawu’s Stunner Eases Leicester Concerns In Morale-boosting Victory At Charlton

The concerned noise surrounding Leicester may not have quieted at the Valley but Martí Cifuentes’s team, who are looking to make a return to the Premier League as soon as possible, brushed aside the doubts – and Charlton’s high-intensity press – to pick up their first away win of the season. Abdul Fatawu’s sensational strike was the sole goal in a victory that ended a streak of nine winless away games.

The style of play Cifuentes has tried to implement is clear, with the visitors favouring the triangle of Hamza Choudhury, Boubakary Soumaré and Fatawu to get the ball up the pitch. But Charlton were aggressive from the first whistle despite the lack of possession and Conor Coventry specifically covered a lot of ground in midfield to block the passing lanes of Leicester’s right-sided trio. As a result of the press, it was the hosts with the early chances, with Tyreece Campbell and Greg Docherty having back-to-back shots blocked in the fourth minute before Miles Leaburn’s shot on target getting deflected into the away end.
