Zambia’s Patson Daka scored in Leceister City’s 4-2 win over Manchester United at the King Power Stadium on Saturday to become first Zambian score in the English Premier League.
Daka who has started life slowly with two appearances in Europa League and one appearance without a goal in the league chose to score his first against Manchester United. A goal that seals the win and ended United’s 29-match unbeaten away run in the League.
