Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers was very impressed with his side as they managed a Europa League win over Spartak Moscow.

He reserved special praise for striker Patson Daka, who scored four goals in a thrilling 4-3 win away from home.

Rodgers said: "To score four goals in any game of football is so difficult but to do it in an away game in Europe, it's a real special achievement.

"All of his finishes were fantastic, really calm, really composed.

"In so many ways it was a great victory for us. To score four goals, come again from behind, you don't want to make a habit of coming from behind but it really tells you everything about the spirit in the team and the mentality, that they're never broken. We will keep going right to the very end.

"I said before it was a massive game for us in terms of this group stage. To get the win, to get to four points, and then with two home games coming up next, I felt it was decisive that we won tonight.

"The boys deserve a huge amount of credit. We dug ourselves out of a hole at 2-0 down, and showed our quality and resilience."
