Brendan Rodgers discusses Patson Daka's incredible four-goal haul | OneFootball

Brendan Rodgers hailed his side’s fighting spirit after they came from behind to knock off Spartak Moscow 4-3 in thrilling fashion.

Patson Daka made headlines all around the world as he scored all four goals on the heels of his goal off the bench which secured a dramatic 4-2 win against Manchester United.

Leicester fell behind 2-0 just before half-time and Rodgers believes it was key for Daka to score immediately after Spartak’s second.

“For the neutrals, it was obviously a great game to watch, I’m very proud of the team… we dug ourselves out of a hole being 2-0 down,” Rodgers told  Leicester City’s official website.

“[We were] unfortunate with the first goal, a deflection. The second goal, we presented to them, but this team, we’ve created a spirit over the last two-and-three-quarter years to keep going and keep fighting, and that is what they did.

“Second half, we were much more aggressive in our game and obviously then, that presented us with some great opportunities. So, it’s a great win in the end.

“He [Daka] was exceptional. To score four goals in a game… the first one, he takes it really, really well and we needed that just before half-time.

“Then, in the second half, Youri [Tielemans] produced a great pass that’s set up Kels [Kelechi Iheanacho] to cross it and finish, so he’s in the right place at the right time.

“Madders [James Maddison] plays one through, so yes, his finishing was sublime, but we’ve seen that in training since he’s come in.

“Left foot, right foot, he’s very composed, he’s very calm and we needed that tonight.”

After securing three huge points, Leicester will now look ahead to their tough clash away at Brentford.
