Can Fatawu strike inspire Foxes to go the distance?

- Published
We all have a list in our heads of the best goals we've ever seen live.
Two of my top five have now been scored at the King Power Stadium.
Way back in 2006 Joey Gudjonsson scored against Hull City from the halfway line for Leicester.
I never thought I'd see a goal scored from a greater distance, let alone at the same ground, but Abdul Fatawu's wonder strike was from a good 10 or even 15 yards further away.
It was an incredible effort and took brilliant quick thinking from the Ghanaian to spot Ipswich keeper Christian Walton way off his line.
After the game, manager Marti Cifuentes said it was something Fatawu tries very often at the training ground and he came close to scoring a similar goal at Swansea, so it's obviously something he's been thinking about for a while.
The goal lit up what felt like a significant victory for Leicester, Cifuentes calling it a "huge win" and "an important step forward".
With players like Fatawu - and Bobby De Cordova-Reid who also scored a cracking goal - hitting their stride, Leicester can suddenly look forward to the vital Christmas run of games with a huge amount of confidence.
And opposition keepers will be well advised to stay on their line...
