Iwobi, Ndidi Impress In Arsenal, Leicester Wins; Iheanacho Not Rated As Chelsea Lose Unbeaten Run At Home

Alex Iwobi (Arsenal) and the duo of Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester City) were in action Saturday evening for their English Premier League sides when they faced Burnley and Chelsea respectively and were  rewarded with 3-1 and 1-0 victories in the week 18 fixtures.

Some English press who followed the games have had their ratings of the Nigerians.

Iwobi got an above average assessment from Football.London.com for his performance against Burnley:

"Alex Iwobi. Replaced Lacazette late on and sealed the win with a lovely finish in stoppage time. 6."

It was a simple 5 from www.90min.com who did not write any texts to back up their players ratings.

The same was for Daily Star who awarded Iwobi a 7 out of 10.

For Leicester duo of Ndidi and Iheanacho, Leicestershire Live wrote:

"7 - Struggled in the first half before going close with a superb drive. Improved when City were under pressure in the second period," in reference to Ndidi's contributions.

There was no ratings for the substitutes so Kelechi Iheanacho who came off the bench in place of Vardy whose goal ensured Chelsea's unbeaten run at home ended was not rated.

And 90min.com stated:

"With Hamza Choudhury joining Nampalys Mendy and Wilfred Ndidi in a midfield three, Leicester had the power and purpose needed to compete physically with the likes of Jorginho and N'Golo Kante in the Chelsea engine room.

It was a 7  out of 10 for Ndidi  who had a spectacular shot tipped over for corner Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga  in the match but compatriot Iheanacho was not rated.
