Speaking about the goals, Dewsbury-Hall praised Issahaku and fellow winger Stephy Mavididi for their performance in the win.
Issahaku assisted Mavididi’s goal in the 10th minute and added another assist with Dewsbury-Hall scoring in the 21st minute.
“It’s a great ball by Abdul [Fatawu]… They (Mavididi and Fatawu) were very good tonight. From minute one, they were causing problems, and they got their rewards with their goal contributions tonight so I’m very proud of them because they work hard.”
“They have great flair, but they also work hard for the team.”
Issahaku has two goals and five assists in 19 games in all competitions on loan from Sporting Lisbon; the former Real Tamale United player could be named in the Black Stars squad for the 2023 AFCON.
