Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Zambia\u2019s Patson Daka becomes Leicester\u2019s all time top scorer in European football after an incredible display with four goals. Chipolopolo\u2019s Daka scored four coolly-taken goals as Leicester boosted their Europa League qualification hopes by coming back from two goals down to beat Spartak Moscow.<\/p>\n

The Zambia international has had limited opportunities to assert himself in the Foxes first team this season, but demonstrated the clever movement and composure in front of goal that prompted them to part with \u00a322m to sign him from Red Bull Salzburg last summer.<\/p>\n

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. Crucially, though, Leicester responded immediately, with Daka slotting in after getting on the end of Kelechi Iheanacho\u2019s chipped through-ball.<\/p>\n

The Zambia international, who was a goalscoring late substitute in Saturday\u2019s 4-2 win over Manchester United, levelled matters soon after the break with another neat finish, again set up by Iheanacho.<\/p>\n

And before the hour mark it was 3-2 as Daka timed his run to perfection to latch onto Youri Tielemans\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

It is their first of this season\u2019s competition, leaving them second in Group C on four points, two behind leaders Legia Warsaw, who face Italian side Napoli on Thursday.<\/p>\n
