Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi made his first appearance in weeks for Leicester City as the Foxes thrashed West Ham 4-1 in the Premier League on Wednesday night.

Ndidi, who had been injured, made a winning return as he was subbed on in the 34th minute for Mendy, who got off following an apparent knee injury.

His compatriot, Kelechi Iheanacho was also in action for Leicester, coming off the bench in the 43rd minute to replace Jamie Vardy, who also walked off injured.

The Foxes returned to winning ways at the King Power Stadium, with Harvey Barnes, Ricardo Pereira and Ayoze Perez (brace) scoring to make West Ham captain Mark Noble’s goal of less value.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United suffered a disappointing defeat to Burnley.

Burnley won by 2-0 to clinch their first win at Old Trafford since 1962.
