Ndidi Stars As Rampant Leicester Destroy Southampton To Create EPL History

Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi was in action for 90 minutes and was one of the best players on the night as Leicester City in devastating form thrashed 10 man Southampton 9-0 at the rainy St Mary's Stadium to create Premier League history for the biggest away win in the Premier League reports allnigeriasoccer.com.

The only such result came 25 seasons ago when Manchester United hammered Ipswich Town by the same scoreline.

Leicester have never won more than 5-0 away in the English top flight, the previous record result coming in 1970 against Charlton Athletic.

Southampton were reduced to ten men when Ryan Bertrand was sent off for a tackle on Ayoze Perez in the 12th minute.

The Nigeria international Ndidi had 90 touches of the ball, won one aerial duel, made one key pass, won seven tackles, had one interception, one clearance and committed three fouls. He was involved in the build up to the first goal scored  by Leicester left back Ben Chilwell.

Ndidi has thus played in nine of Leicester City's ten Premier League matches so far this season.

After Chilwell's opener, Ayoze Perez scored in the 19th, 39th and 57th minutes while Jamie Vardy also bagged a hat-trick by scoring in the 45th, 58th and 90th minutes.

Youri Tielemans was on target  in the 17th minute and James Maddison netted a fabulous free-kick to make it 8-0 with five minutes left on the clock.

By virtue of the victory Leicester rose to second spot in the English Premier League table with 20 points, five adrift of leaders Liverpool.
