Patson Daka Shines in Season Debut: Scores and Assists for Leicester City.

hipolopolo striker Patson Daka made a significant impact on his first starting appearance of the season, contributing both a goal and an assist as Leicester City dominated Plymouth Argyle with a resounding 4-0 victory at King Power Stadium on Saturday.
This commanding win enabled Leicester City to maintain their position at the top of the Sky Bet Championship table.

Enzo Maresca, the manager, included Daka in the starting lineup, addressing concerns about the player’s limited playing time leading up to this match.
Daka showcased his prowess by scoring the second goal of the game and later setting up Wilfred Ndidi for the fourth, securing a well-deserved triumph for the team.

The early lead was established with Stephy Mavididi converting a penalty in the 14th minute. Although Maresca’s squad had to weather a mild storm towards the end of the first half, they managed to preserve a clean sheet on Filbert Way.

Patson Daka’s inaugural goal of the season, achieved in his first league start of the 2023/24 season, doubled the advantage. This was followed by a second goal from Mavididi and a stylish finish from Wilfred Ndidi, with three goals scored within the opening 10 minutes of the second period, showcasing Leicester’s quality.

Daka put in a commendable 63-minute shift before making way for Thomas Cannon. The Foxes continue to lead the second tier, maintaining a one-point margin over Ipswich Town and holding an eight-point advantage over third-placed Leeds United.
With 49 points from 20 matches, having won 16 of them, and boasting a goal difference of +26, Leicester City’s dominance is evident, surpassing other teams by a margin of 10.

Next up for Leicester City is a home fixture against Millwall on Wednesday evening.
