Ndidi, Iheanacho star in Leicester’s 4-2 defeat at Bournemouth

Super Eagles duo of Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho were in action for Leicester City as they lost to Bournemouth in a Premier League encounter on Saturday.

Ndidi was on from the start of the game, and as the Claude Puel’s side were trailing 3-0 by halftime, Iheanacho was introduced in the second half.

The Foxes failed to find the back of the net when it mattered most even as they finished with 10 men following a Wes Morgan red card – and were beaten 4-2 by their hosts.

Bournemouth moved into fifth place in the league table, while Leicester slip back to ninth after a second consecutive defeat.

Next up for Leicester is a clash at home against Huddersfield Town, who fell 0-1 to Crystal Palace also on Saturday.
