Wilfred Ndidi’s assist against Ipswich Town proves decisive
It was yet another productive outing for the Nigerian international, who now boasts five assists this season.
The Nigerian star was instrumental in setting up the second goal that sealed the result for Leicester.
After 88 minutes of energetic midfield dominance, he was eventually replaced by Oliver Skipp, having already left his mark on the game.
Veteran striker Jamie Vardy got the Foxes up and running with a low-driven finish just before the half-hour mark, marking his 200th goal for the club on his landmark 500th appearance.
The opener came after some slick build-up play from Justin.
In the second half, Ndidi turned provider once again. His well-timed pass found McAteer, who lashed home a powerful strike past goalkeeper Palmer to double Leicester’s lead.
It was McAteer’s first Premier League goal of the season and a memorable one, courtesy of Ndidi’s assist against Ipswich Town.
Wilfred Ndidi has now delivered five assists in a Premier League campaign for the first time.

Leicester rising despite relegation blow
Despite their confirmed relegation, Leicester City have been in inspired form lately.
The win against Ipswich marked their sixth Premier League victory of the season and extended their unbeaten run to three games.
This includes a 2-0 win over Southampton and a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest.
Ipswich had a few chances to get back into the match. Davis hit the post early, and Hutchinson fired over a big opportunity before halftime.
Davis did eventually find the net, but the goal was chalked off for offside.
Leicester will now carry this positive momentum into their final top-flight fixture against Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Ipswich Town will look to bounce back as they host West Ham.
