Wilfred Ndidi scored his first goal in the 2021/22 season as Leicester City defeated Legia Warsaw 3-1 in a Uefa Europa League game on Thursday night.

The 24-year-old completed a superb first-half showing for the hosts at the King Power Stadium by scoring the third goal.

Leicester City scored three goals within 20 minutes, with Zambia striker Patson Daka opening the scoring in the 11th minute.

In the 26th minute, Ndidi conceded a penalty after the ball hit his hand in the 18-yard box but Kasper Schmeichel did well to save Mahir Emreli’s first attempt before Filip Mladenovic slotted home the rebound.

Shortly after the Super Eagles midfielder made up for his mistake as he restored Leicester City’s two-goal lead with a fine header off Maddison’s corner in the 32nd minute.

The Foxes held on to their lead after the restart as the encounter ended with the first-half goals.

The result catapulted the Foxes to the top of Group C with eight points after six matches and they lead second-placed Spartak Moscow and third-placed Napoli by a point, with a game left to play for.
