Wilfred Ndidi put up another outstanding individual performance for Leicester City, providing a beautiful assist for James Justin’s world-class volley to draw level against Arsenal on Saturday afternoon.
Wilfred Ndidi’s assist
The early parts of the second half would see the Foxes fight back from a two-goal deficit in the first half to get back on level terms with the Gunners as Ndidi’s cross found an on-coming Justin, who powered in a wonderful volley past a helpless David Raya.

However, the Nigerian’s assist, his fourth for the season, would prove inconsequential as his team fell in the last minutes after two quick-fire goals, as the game ended 4-2 in favour of the London club.
While Ndidi assisted Leicester’s equalizer, he was unlucky to have directed a seemingly weak Leonardo Trossard left-footed short into his own net, resulting in an own goal.
Kai Havertz then put the game to rest, benefiting from a horrendous Leicester mistake as an attempted clearance rebounded off the German’s knee, as the Gunners secured their second consecutive win of the week.
The Foxes, who are yet to secure a league win this season, would hope for better luck when they take on Bournemouth next weekend.
