Speaking after the match, his hype-man, Ndidi told their club TV he was happy and proud of what his compatriot is doing.
“He just can’t stop scoring at the moment,” Ndidi told LCFCTV. “I’m so happy for him, very proud. I just want him to keep doing the things and scoring to help the team.”
“As a player, you need to believe in yourself and I see it in him now – he believes in himself and the confidence is there now,” the defensive midfielder added.
Ndidi was also outstanding on the night, winning more tackles (5) and making more recoveries (10) than any player on the night as Leicester kept a deserved clean sheet against WBA, who had another Nigeria, CB, Semi Ajayi on the pitch.
