The Super Eagles star delivered a brilliant performance as Leicester City stunned Tottenham in their Premier League encounter on Sunday afternoon

Wilfred Ndidi was Leicester City’s man of the match following the Foxes 2-0 victory over Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

A penalty from Jamie Vardy and an own goal from Toby Alderwield gave Leicester manager, Brendan Rodgers his first win over Jose Mourinho.

However, it was Ndidi’s performance that stood out from the rest with Nigerian showing why he is important in the Foxes side.

Ndidi, who only recently returned from a three-month layoff, was brilliant in the middle of the park for Brendan Rodgers side.
