Wilfred Ndidi received a positive performance rating despite Leicester City’s 2-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League.
The Super Eagles midfielder was highlighted by Squawka for his contributions, earning a 60 percent rating for his efforts at the King Power Stadium. Softfootball reports that he was surprisingly the team’s biggest goal threat with two shots in the first half.
Defensively, Ndidi remained solid by making four clearances, winning one tackle, and recording two interceptions.
He also won three duels during the match, showcasing his usual work rate even as his team struggled to contain an Arsenal side that was missing several key attacking players due to injury.
Squawka noted his impact by stating:
While you’d expect Wilfred Ndidi to be busy defensively, he was Leicester’s biggest goal threat with two shots, both coming in the first half. Defensively, the Nigerian did still make four clearances alongside one tackle won and two interceptions. He also won three duels.
Arsenal closed the gap at the top of the table to four points thanks to goals from Mikel Merino and Ethan Nwaneri. Ndidi’s consistent performance stands out as a bright spot for Leicester, demonstrating his value to the squad even in difficult results against top-tier opposition.
