Jordan Ayew missed the first penalty of his club career as Leicester City suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Charlton Athletic in the English Championship.
The Ghana captain had the chance to get Leicester back into the game in the 56th minute from the spot, but Ayew’s strike from 12 yards hit the post despite sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. Compatriot Abdul Fatawu Issahaku won the penalty for Leicester after a wizardry dibble got him fouled in the box.
Things went from bad to worse, who had already been reduced to ten men after just 15 minutes when Caleb Okoli was sent off.
Meanwhile, Charlton took advantage of the numbers, opening the scoring in the 36th minute through Sonny Carey, who fired home from close range after a poor defending from the hosts.
Just before half time, Lyndon Dykes doubled the advantage for Charlton Athletic to seal victory for the visitors.
Ayew was replaced late in the game by Zambian forward Patson Daka.
