Patson Daka assists as Ipswich hold Leicester 

Chipolopolo forward Patson Daka has continued his fine form for his club Leicester City as he set up their goal in the 1-1 draw with Ipswich on Tuesday Night. 

Daka assisted Stephy Mavididi’s excellent opener which put City on course for a sixth consecutive league victory in the 24th minute of Tuesday’s top-of-the-table showdown in East Anglia. 

Three minutes into added time, however, Sam Morsy’s hopeful drive deflected off Ricardo Pereira’s shin and then Jannik Vestergaard’s head to wrong-foot Mads Hermansen in the net and dent Leicester’s relentless winter form. It was a frustrating end for Enzo Maresca’s Foxes, who remain 11 points clear of third-placed Southampton and 14 ahead of Leeds United in fourth. 

Each side had opportunities throughout, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was denied a penalty midway through the second half after being knocked from his feet by Cameron Burgess inside the 18-yard box. 

THE GOAL 

The Foxes impressive start to the match was rewarded when Coady’s low forward pass located in-form striker Patson Daka in the middle. 

The Zambian did especially well to take Burgess out of the equation, spinning on the spot and immediately sweeping the ball out to the left channel. 

Mavididi was there to collect the ball, galloping forwards, before curling it across the penalty box and into Václav Hladký’s far corner. A real moment of quality for Maresca’s leaders – and a deserved advantage on the night. 

Daka has now been involved in six goals in the last five games (four goals and two assists). 

Leicester’s attention now turns to a visit to Cardiff City on Friday at 21:45 (7:45pm GMT kick-off).
