Ndidi Bags 4th EPL Assist As Leicester’s Winless Run Continues After 4-2 Loss To Arsenal

Wilfred Ndidi provided an assist in struggling Leicester City’s 4-2 loss to Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.

Ndidi now has four assists in six appearances in the English topflight this season and has equaled his best tally for Leicester in 2020/21.

The defeat means Leicester are yet to record a win in six Premier League game so far.

Arsenal raced to a 2-0 first half lead thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli (20th min) and Leandro Trossard (45+1 min).

Martinelli slotted home a low cross from Julien Timber before provided an assist of his own for Trossard to guide home.

Leicester pulled a goal back just three minutes into the second half as James Justin’s header from a free kick hit Kai Havertz and went past David Raya.

In the 63rd minute Justin completed the comeback as he volleyed home Ndidi’s cross from the left.

In the 94th minute, Arsenal went 3–2 up as Trossard’s strike, off a Bukayo Saka corner hit Ndidi and rolled into the net.

Then in the 99th minute Havertz got a lucky rebound as a Leicester defender’s attempted clearance came off the German.

Arsenal are in second place on 14 points, same point as Manchester City, but behind on goals difference.

The defeat leaves Leicester in 16th position on three points in the league table.

In another Premier League game Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey helped Fulham beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 away.

Also in action were the duo of Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi with the latter going off before the start of the second half.

In other results, Everton beat Crystal Palace 2-1, Cole scored all the four goals as Chelsea defeated Brighton 4-2, while Brentford and West Ham played 1-1.
