Zambian forward Patson Daka scored four as Leicester City beat Lokomotive Moscow 4-3 on Wednesday in the Europa League.

Sobolev would go on to get a brace in the game but it was Jordan Larsson, who doubled the hosts advantage in the 44th minute.

Daka then scored immediately before the break to half the deficit. He then went on to quickly complete his hattrick on the night early in the second half.

He converted another pass from Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho in the 48th, the former Manchester City forward had provided his first goal in the first half.

Daka then struck six minutes later to complete his hattrick on the night. However, the game was not secured for the Foxes until the 79th when he scored his and Leicester City’s fourth of the night even though Sobolev did create a nervy ending with an 86th minute goal.
