Zambian forward Patson Daka played 90 minutes as Leicester City thrashed Swansea 3-1 in an English Championship encounter. Daka who has struggled for minutes this season started his second match in the league and put in a full shift. After starting in the 1-1 draw against Wrexham and setting up Jordan James for the Foxes goal, the former Salzburg striker was again trusted to start upfront and for the first time this season played the full 90 minutes. The Zambian international came close to getting his first league goal in the second half but his headed effort off a Fatawu rebound just went inches over the bar. Stunners from Jordan James and Abdul Fatawu in each half, either side of Adam Idah’s penalty for the Swans, was the foundation, as Jannik Vestergaard made sure late on for the Foxes to seal maximum points. After four draws in a row, Martí Cifuentes and the travelling Blue Army will have been forgiven for contemplating a fifth when Idah levelled matters, but City shifted up a gear late on to rise to third in the Sky Bet Championship table.
