Chipolopolo and Leicester city striker Patson Daka scored 4 goals in his europa debut.

 

Trailing 2-0, they looked to be on course for a result that would have made progress out of a difficult group highly improbable. Daka rescued them with a demonstration of precision that will live long in the memory.

 

Daka’s inclusion from the start was one of only two changes that Rodgers made to the lineup that started against United on Saturday, the other being Luke Thomas for Timothy Castagne. Leicester began strongly. Kelechi Iheanacho could have opened the scoring in the first minute if he had been able to react quicker to a flick on by Daka, whose clever movement was already making him a nuisance to the home defence. But Daka’s finishing was shoddy at first, as he slashed wide from the edge of the area in the 10th minute.
