This weekend, Leicester come up against Southampton. Therefore, it's an excuse to rewatch this Abdul Fatawu screamer for Leicester vs Southampton.

The October international break is finally coming to an end. Leicester City are able to watch the Foxes in action again and hopefully, they can make it two wins on the bounce in the Premier League.

City come up against one of the only teams doing worse than them this season. Southampton are still yet to pick up their first win of the campaign, a feat which Leicester achieved before the break.

Last season, Leicester beat Southampton twice. At home, Leicester won 5-0 and away from home, they won 1-4. It was the home fixture which Abdul Fatawu shone in, scoring a hat-trick, which included a screamer.

In the 75th minute, Abdul Fatawu curled an exceptional shot into the far corner with his left foot. It was his second goal of the game and one of the best goals he's ever scored for Leicester City.

Of course, he eventually completed the hat-trick, but this was his standout moment of the game. It will now go down as one of the all-time goals this fixture has produced and will be in his personal highlight reel for many years to come.

It remains to be seen if Abdul Fatawu starts against Southampton at the weekend. He has only started three Premier League games this season, so his chances are slim. However, he has come off the bench in the other four matches, making an appearance in every game.

Fatawu is yet to break his Premier League goal-scoring tally. However, he did provide an assist in Leicester's first game back, assisting Leicester's only goal in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur.

If Fatawu could produce a similar level of magic against Southampton this time out, then his confidence will almost certainly return.
