Wilfred Ndidi Revels in Leicester City’s New Year Triumph Over Huddersfield
Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi expressed his joy at commencing the New Year with a resounding victory in the English Premier League, as the Super Eagles star played a pivotal role in Leicester’s convincing 3-0 win over Huddersfield Town at the King Power Stadium on Monday.
The triumph marked a significant turnaround for the Foxes, ending a five-game winless streak across all competitions since their last victory against Southampton on December 13, 2017. Ndidi, making his 21st start in the EPL this season, delivered a standout performance, contributing to Leicester’s midfield dominance.
While his compatriot Kelechi Iheanacho remained an unused substitute, and Ahmed Musa was omitted from the matchday squad, Leicester secured the win through goals from Riyad Mahrez, Islam Slimani, and Marc Albrighton.
Ndidi took to Twitter to express his delight after the match, stating, “What a way to start the new year.. Great win today!!! happy new year everyone #blessed.” The midfielder’s positive outlook and gratitude reflected the team’s collective satisfaction in securing a crucial victory to kickstart 2023.
Claude Puel’s side now sits comfortably in eighth place in the EPL table, amassing 30 points from 22 games. As Leicester City fans relish the triumphant start to the year, the team aims to build on this success in the coming fixtures, with Ndidi’s instrumental role instilling confidence among supporters.
