Rodgers explains Iheanacho substitution, heaps praise on Daka after maiden Premier League goal

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has heaped praise on Zambia international Patson Daka after he came off the bench to score against Manchester United.

Rodgers has also revealed why he subbed Nigeria striker Kelechi Iheanacho during the thrilling game at King Power Stadium which produced six goals, with the Foxes coming on top with a 4-2 win, a result that saw them end a four-match winless run in the Premier League.

Leicester scored their goals through Youri Tielemans, Çaglar Soyuncu, Jamie Vardy, and Daka while Man United’s two goals were notched by Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford.
