Patson Daka Opens Season Account in Leicester’s 3-1 Win Over Hammers
Zambian forward Patson Daka played a starring role in Leicester City’s 3-1 triumph over West Ham United, helping the Foxes secure their third Premier League win of the season and marking Ruud van Nistelrooy’s first victory as Leicester’s head coach. Daka, who came on as a substitute in the 60th minute for Jamie Vardy, opened his Premier League scoring account for the season in spectacular fashion.
With the Foxes already leading 2-0 thanks to early goals from Jamie Vardy in the 2nd minute and Bilal El Khannouss, Daka added his name to the scoresheet with a brilliant solo effort in the 90th minute. The Zambian striker executed a stunning run, cutting through the defense, before unleashing a powerful left-footed strike from a tight angle to beat the goalkeeper. West Ham managed to pull one back through Niclas Füllkrug in the 93rd minute, but it was too little, too late.

Daka’s goal not only sealed the win but also etched his name into history books, as he became the first Zambian player to score 10 Premier League goals. This milestone further solidifies his status as Zambia’s most successful player in England’s top flight.
The 25-year-old’s milestone strike showcased all the hallmarks of his playing style: pace, precision, and power. His solo run and clinical finish from a difficult angle exemplified why Leicester City sees him as a key asset in their attacking arsenal.
As Daka continues to cement his legacy, Zambian football fans will undoubtedly be watching closely as he strives to add more goals to his Premier League tally. For Leicester, the focus will remain on maintaining consistency and climbing higher in the standings under Van Nistelrooy’s leadership.
