Despite suffering their biggest defeat of the season at the hand of the Premier League leaders Liverpool at King Power Stadium, Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers was full of praises for Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.

Liverpool opened up a 13 points lead at the top of the log when they thrash second-place Leicester City 4-0 on boxing day.

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.

Wilfred Ndidi was on parade for ninety minutes, he could do little to prevent the defeat.

Meanwhile Speaking after the game, Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers singled out his Nigerian import for special praises.

“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”.

Wilfred Ndidi and his teammates will travel to West Ham United on December 28, for their game.
