Abdul Fatawu Issahakuâs astonishing 65-yard strike against Ipswich Town has officially become the longest-range goal ever recorded in the Championship since Opta began compiling data.The Ghanaian winger produced a moment of remarkable ingenuity during Leicester Cityâs 3-1 win at the King Power Stadium, catching goalkeeper Christian Walton off his line with a sensational effort from well inside his own half.Opta confirmed that Fatawuâs strike, measured at around 65 yards, surpasses all previous long-range goals documented in the leagueâs statistical archives. The 21-year-old won possession, slipped the ball through Jack Taylorâs legs and unleashed a stunning left-footed shot that sailed over Walton, leaving the stadium in disbelief.The record-breaking goal arrived moments before half-time and added to an earlier free-kick that Walton had done well to keep out. Leicester, who had struggled for home wins in recent months, capitalised on the momentum as Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Jordan Ayew also found the net to secure a much-needed victory.Manager Marti Cifuentes described Fatawuâs strike as âvery special,â praising the wingerâs rapid development and growing influence within the squad.Fatawuâs 65-yard effort has drawn widespread acclaim and is already regarded as a leading contender for Goal of the Season.
