Fatawu: A Special Day
- Leicester City drew 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur on Monday night
- Jamie Vardy equalised after Pedro Porro's opener at King Power Stadium
- Winger Abdul Fatawu was pleased to provide the assist for City's goal
- He was also delighted to make his English top-flight debut
Vardy's 57th-minute header levelled Pedro Porro's first-half opener at King Power Stadium on Monday evening to get Steve Cooper's men up and running on the Club's top-flight return.
After proving so crucial in City's promotion-winning campaign last time out, Fatawu is determined to help Leicester retain their Premier League status - and was excited to make his maiden appearance in the English top tier.
"This was a special day, my debut in the Premier League," he said afterwards. "It was a great feeling and it was great to take a point out of it. I’m so happy and it’s a dream come true for me. I’ll keep going.
A Proud Moment For Fatawu
Abdul Fatawu reflects on his Premier League debut - which included an assist for Jamie Vardy.
"There’s differences in the Premier League because it’s more intense and more running! You have to keep on with the team. There were differences and we’ll keep going.
"The fans are so amazing and always give me more energy to give my heart. They are so special and I love playing because they make me feel special and give me more energy to give more for the team.
"It’s just the beginning with the team and what we’re doing. We just have to keep going."
The Foxes took time to settle against the north Londoners, but once they did, Fatawu and Co. really took the game to Spurs. The Ghanian credited the Manager for his half-time words, which led to a change in fortunes.
Vardy Rescues A Point From Spurs Bout

"It’s about the coach," he added. "In the second half, he spoke to us in the dressing room, how to get it easier for ourselves as a team. We did it and I think that’s why we came on in the game.
"Especially, how we played, it’ll give us more confidence. We know we can give more. This game will give us more tactics to learn. I think we are going to do more and show more to get better."
A first assist is now in the bag for Fatawu, his cross teeing up Vardy for his opening goal of the season. The former Sporting Lisbon winger is hoping it's a trend which continues.
"Jamie Vardy is always there, I know where he is," City's No.7 explained. "Anytime I get the ball, I think of him and where to put the ball for him to score. Fortunately, today, it happened it again and I’m so happy."
