While Vardy received most of the plaudits, it was Ndidi that caught the eye of Walsh. Ndidi has grown to become one of the best defensive midfielders in the world and also an important player in Leicester squad, Soccernet.ng said.

However, on Sunday, he played in an unfamiliar centre back role, but he never put a foot wrong. His performance received praises Walsh, who said he was not surprised with how he settled into that position.

ā€œIā€™m not surprised at all how Ndidi played. After a difficult start, he was brilliant,ā€ Walsh said on the Extra-time podcast.
