Ndidi, Iheanacho in action as Leicester draw Stoke
Super Eagles duo, Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi were both in action for Leicester City in their 1-1 draw against Stoke City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
Ndidi played throughout the game while Iheanacho came in as a substitute in the 62nd minute, but they couldn’t help their side emerge winners despite many chances towards the end of the game.
Stoke had led through Xherdan Shaqiri’s 43rd-minute strike when Ndidi was robbed of possession of the ball by Joe Allen at the edge of the box.

And the away side were heading to victory, before goalkeeper Jack Butland made an error in the 70th minute to put both teams level.
The England international diverted in Marc Albrighton’s cross into his net to deny his club their first win from their last four games.
With the result, Stoke remain in the relugation zone, while the Foxes move one place into seventh above Burnley who are hosting Southampton later on Saturday.
