Ndidi clashes with teammate in Leicester heavy loss to Brighton as video emerges

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how video emerged where Super Eagles star Wilfred Ndidi was spotted clashing with goalkeeper Danny Ward during their Premier League defeat against Brighton.

Leicester City over the weekend continued with their unimpressive performance so far this season as they suffered a 5-2 loss at Brighton despite scoring the first goal in the tie.

Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho gave Leicester City the lead via a wonderful finish with fans of the Foxes thinking that they would win.

However, Brighton came back stronger in the encounter and made their fans happy recording an emphatic win over Leicester City.

In the 25th minute, the Nigerian midfielder gave a back pass to Danny Ward in which the goalkeeper made a blunder which almost cost Leicester City a goal.

Ndidi was not happy with how goalkeeper Ward failed to clear the ball and they both had a verbal tussle on the pitch.
