Some Leicester City fans have been reacting with admiration on social media to a recent post from The Foxes’ official Twitter account, which shares footage of a Wilfred Ndidi tackle from Monday’s Premier League win over Aston Villa.
The recent tweet from Leicester City’s official Twitter account shares footage of Ndidi performing a dominant tackle on Aston Villa playmaker Jack Grealish during Leicester’s 4-0 Premier League win over The Villan’s this past Monday.
Ndidi made his first Premier League start since the first of January in Monday’s win over Aston Villa. The Nigerian international has been struggling with knee problems in recent weeks, which have resulted in the 23-year-old missing a total of five Premier League matches in 2020, thus far.
Ndidi produced a dominant display from the base of Leicester’s midfield in Monday’s clash with Aston Villa. The Nigerian midfielder made a total of four tackles versus Aston Villa, with a tackle success rate of 100%. Furthermore, Ndidi also made an impressive total of three interceptions in this game, which is a higher number of interceptions than any other player from either side completed.
Some Leicester City fans have been reacting positively to the footage of one of Ndidi’s tackles from Monday’s game, which has recently been shared by The Foxes’ official Twitter account. Read the reactions of some Leicester fans to this footage in the tweets below.

What do we think?
Ndidi has made a total of four tackles and 2.7 interceptions per game, on average, for The Foxes in the Premier League this season. Ndidi has made a higher number of interceptions per game than any other Leicester player in the Premier League this season. In addition to that, Ricardo Pereira is the only Leicester player who has made more tackles per game than the Nigerian midfielder, in the Premier League, this season.
These stats show that Ndidi has made a considerable defensive contribution for Leicester City this season. Having made his first Premier League start since the first of January in this past Monday’s game, it may be understandable why some Leicester fans have pointed to one of the Nigerian midfielder’s dominant tackles as a highlight from this game.
