The Foxes were given a reality check following a footballing lesson from Liverpool. The Reds brought their A-game as they moved thirteen points clear of their rivals with a 4-0 victory at the King Power Stadium on Thursday night.
A brace from Roberto Firmino, James Milner's penalty and Trent Alexander Arnold perfect finish secured a comfortable win for Jurgen Klopp's side.
For Leicester, they were given a harsh reality of the gulf in class between them and the top two sides. The Foxes have lost their last two games against Manchester City and Liverpool which showed the difference in quality.
However, despite the loss, Super Eagles star was singled out for praise by fans. The Nigeria international was the only shining light in the Foxes embarrassing loss last night.

Wilfred Ndidi has been Leicester’s best midfielder by a fair margin by the way.

I probably have an Ndidi bias because i'm Nigerian. But how can a DM that good be so underrated?

Embarrassing for Leicester, but I have mad respect for General Wilfred Ndidi! Huge presence in midfield. #LEILFC

Ndidi's form this season has seen him linked with a move to Arsenal ahead of the January Transfer window. The former Genk star has featured 18 times in the league for Foxes, scoring two goals.
