Wilfred Ndidi has praised Leicester City following their 3-0 triumph over Newcastle United on Wednesday and described the win as a New Year gift to their fans.
The Nigeria international returned to the starting XI at St James' Park after coming off the bench to make a cameo appearance against West Ham United last Saturday.
Ndidi delivered a solid defensive performance in the encounter, making two tackles amid other impressive displays to ensure his side kept a clean sheet and claimed their first win of the year.
Besides his defensive duty, the 23-year-old also added bite to the Foxes’ attack, surging forward to set up Hamza Choudhury for his side’s third goal after Ayoze Perez and James Maddison had given them a comfortable first-half lead.
