- Leicester striker Patson Daka suffered a scary fall while celebrating a stoppage-time goal for Zambia against Mali but thankfully avoided serious injury.
Leicester City star Patson Daka was fortunate to avoid a serious injury after landing awkwardly on his neck while celebrating a goal at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The 27-year-old striker scored a stoppage-time equaliser in Zambia’s group stage draw with Mali, securing a share of the spoils with a stunning diving header after Lassine Sinayoko had seemingly netted the winner.
El Bilal Toure had earlier missed a chance to break the deadlock, failing to convert a first-half penalty for Mali.

Daka’s celebration, however, went horribly wrong. While attempting a cartwheel, his arm gave way, causing him to fall awkwardly onto his neck at the Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca.
Thankfully for both Daka and Zambia, he appeared to escape serious damage, much to the relief of Leicester manager Marti Cifuentes and fans alike.
