Patson Daka’s second-half double helped Leicester move six points clear at the top of the Championship with a comfortable 3-0 win against bottom-placed Rotherham.

Daka opened the scoring on the hour with a simple finish from close range before then converting from the penalty spot five minutes later after he was fouled by Rotherham goalkeeper Viktor Johansson. Substitute Cesare Casadei completed the scoring with a diving header in the 72nd minute, sealing a fifth straight league win and extending their lead at the top following Ipswich’s heavy defeat at Leeds.
