Here on the website, we are chuffed for Leicester City striker Patson Daka after the weekend. A self-proclaimed 'over the moon' Zambian expressed his relief and happiness following his goal drought ending abruptly and wonderfully on Saturday afternoon versus Stoke City. The Fox's post-match interview was conducted amidst the joy of his teammates. Though some of Daka's goalkeeping colleagues actually frown upon these certain types of finishes. All will be explained. So let's learn exactly what the international footballer said with delight and gusto as the final whistle blew.

Just after the referee called time on the Foxes' clash with the travelling Potters, in which LCFC were victorious, manager Marti Cifuentes spoke to the media. The gaffer confirmed that the Leicester squad was collectively 'delighted' for Daka.
The Zambia National Team representative is said to be a 'good guy' around Seagrave and King Power Stadium. So it is no surprise that the team were singing his 'song' after scoring, according to Leicester Mercury.
However, Daka also admitted that some of his fellow Foxes didn't appreciate the dinked finish he produced. He claimed that some stoppers on the roster actually hate that shot selection from training. Although the goalkeepers' union have now reneged on that stance.
