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

The 24-year-old also made three successful tackles and two interceptions. He also had a 94% pass accuracy to cap off a brilliant display.
As a result of his performance, he was voted the man of the match by Leicester City’s man beating Jamie Vardy, Wesley Fofana and Marc Albrighton to the award.
Meanwhile, Ndidi’s international teammate, Kelechi Iheanacho also featured in the encounter-although as a late substitute, coming on for Vardy in the 88th minute.
