Waoh! “Ndidi has done that before. He’s got that in his locker.”
Super Eagles
and Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi was spectacular in Leicester’s 2-0
win over Stoke City as he scored his first English Premier League goal at the
King Power Stadium n Saturday. Ndidi put the England champions ahead in the
25th minute after firing a 25 yard shot which ended in the top corner past
Stoke goalkeeper Lee Grant, before Jamie Vardy made it two for the home side in
the 47th minute. The win was Leicester’s fourth straight win, and Ndidi
expressed his happiness that Leicester sealed the three points, as he also
thanked the fans for their role in the win.
“Good win,
another three points, magnificent support. Happy to score my first Premier
League goal,” Ndidi wrote on his Twitter handle later after the game. Meanwhile,
Leicester City boss, Craig Shakespeare, has commended Ndidi’s superb goal, and
implied that it did not come as a surprise to him as the Nigerian midfielder
does have the capability to score so. Reacting to the win, Shakespeare said
Ndidi’s goal was key to Leicester’s win. “First goal was always going to be
crucial and what a goal it was,” Shakespeare said in a post-match interview.
“Ndidi has done
that before. He’s got that in his locker.” He continued as he went on to
describe Vardy’s goal as very important: “Second goal vital as it gave us the
platform to go on and win the game. We shored it up later, so the clean sheet
is pleasing. “Nice to get the fourth straight Premier League win, everyone
deserves credit. Been tough games, but a pleasure to be involved.”
