ZAMBIAN international Patson Daka scored four coolly-taken goals as Leicester boosted their Europa League qualification hopes by brilliantly coming back from two goals down to beat Spartak Moscow.
Leicester were 2-0 down to Spartak Moscow before Patson Daka took matters into his own hands scoring 4 in 33 minutes, including a 9-minute hat-trick. Daka’s video has gone viral and has been shared over 10 000 times by the time of reporting.
City have struggled throughout this European campaign and had looked to be on course for another damaging defeat in the snowy Russian capital as Spartak took a 2-0 lead.
Alexander Sobolev fired in the first via a deflection before former Chelsea wing-back Victor Moses set up Jordan Larsson – the son of ex-Swedish international forward Henrik – to slot in the second.
Crucially, though, Leicester responded immediately, with Daka slotting in after getting on the end of Kelechi Iheanacho’s chipped through-ball.
The Zambia international, who was a goalscoring late substitute in Saturday’s 4-2 win over Manchester United, levelled matters soon after the break with another neat finish, again set up by Iheanacho.
And before the hour mark it was 3-2 as Daka timed his run to perfection to latch onto Youri Tielemans’ pass before slotting in low.
He was not done yet, though, with James Maddison releasing him to seal the win with another side-foot finish with 10 minutes to go.
🔥 Deadly Daka 🔥
