Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has shown why he’s one of the best players in the EFL Championship after leading the charge with a goal and helping Leicester City thrash Southampton to take a commanding lead at the top of the table.
Wilfred Ndidi inspired Leicester City to a dominant 5-0 victory over Southampton at the King Power Stadium, Footballrover reports.
Ndidi scored his second consecutive goal for the Foxes, matching his personal best goal tally in a single season.
The Nigerian international stole the spotlight, featuring for 82 minutes and taking three shots on target, with one finding the back of the net.
His goal came in the second period of the game, accompanied by a hat-trick from Abdul Fatawu and a goal from Jamie Vardy.
Ndidi’s impressive performance marks back-to-back league goals for the midfielder, who is eager to return to the Premier League.

Coach Enzo Maresca’s decision to start him paid off once again, despite Kelechi Iheanacho’s absence from the starting lineup.
On the other hand, Joe Aribo, who has been in brilliant form recently, started for Southampton but couldn’t prevent his team’s 5-0 defeat, leaving their promotion hopes in doubt.
Leicester City now lead the EFL Championship with 94 points from 43 games, four points ahead of second-placed Leeds United, boosting their chances of promotion with two games left to play.
