Striker Patson Daka Continues Leicester Charge with Third Consecutive Appearance

Zambian forward Patson Daka maintained his presence in Leicester City’s starting lineup, making his third consecutive start in their challenging 3-2 victory over Birmingham City on Monday. This win further solidifies Leicester’s position at the top of the Championship table.

In this encounter, Daka, who showcased his prowess with two goals and an assist in his previous starts, faced close marking from Birmingham’s defense, including the experienced Wayne Rooney. Despite not finding the scoresheet himself, Daka’s presence drew attention from the opposition, creating opportunities for his teammates. Stephy Mavididi stepped up with a brace, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall added another goal, securing a crucial victory for Leicester as they aim for promotion to the Premier League.

While Daka was substituted in the second half, a trend in recent games, Leicester City’s overall performance emphasizes their determination to secure a return to the Premier League. With 55 points from 22 games, they are now three points clear of second-placed Ipswich Town. Daka will look forward to potentially reclaiming his spot in the starting lineup in the upcoming fixture against Rotherham United.
