Daka marks Leicester return with goal
Patson Daka has played more for for Zambia this season than he has Leicester City
Patson Daka marked his first start of the season for Leicester City with a goal as the Championship leaders thrashed Plymouth Argyle.
Stephy Mavididi put the high-flying hosts ahead from the penalty spot in the first half after being fouled in the area by Julio Pleguezuelo.
Out-of-favour Daka, who previously played only one minute off the bench in the Championship this term, doubled Leicester's lead after the break when teed up by Abdul Fatawu.
It was one of three goals scored in six second-half minutes, with Mavididi and Wilfred Ndidi grabbing the others, as the Foxes ensured they remain one point clear at the summit in style.
