Leicester City Boss Praises One Of His Players Despite Heavy Loss To Liverpool

Liverpool beat their closest challengers to the title, as things stand, 4-0 on their own turf on Thursday night to open up a 13-point lead at the top of the table.

A brace from Roberto Firmino and additional tallies from James Milner and Trent Alexander-Arnold secured Jurgen Klopp's side their seventeenth win in 18 Premier League matches.

Foxes number 25 Wilfred Ndidi started and was in action for ninety minutes while Kelechi Iheanacho was not in the matchday eighteen.

Speaking after the game shown live on Super Sport, Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers reserved special praise for the Nigeria international midfielder despite the heavy loss to the world champions.

Rodgers said : "We couldn't really feed Jamie with any pass or any quality of pass, so that's the big frustration of the evening.

"Wilfred Ndidi was fantastic throughout - fighting, running, working, getting on the ball - but we just didn't have long enough periods with it.

"So like I said when you don't against a top team, like I said before they are world champions and of course it becomes difficult for you".

Up next for Wilfred Ndidi and his teammates, they travel to West Ham United on December 28, before another away game at Newcastle United on New Year's Day.
