For defensive midfielder, Ndidi, who is set for a return to the Super Eagles, after a long absence, it was a day to forget at the office.

Heung-Min steals show as Tottenham batter below par Leicester

Tottenham has moved up to second in the Premier League table after a five-star performance against Leicester City.

South Korean forward Son came off the bench to steal the headlines after he was dropped by Coach Antonio Conte having gone eight (8) matches without a goal.

Son served a 14-minute masterclass to help Spurs to a comfortable victory with a excellent hat-trick.

Harry Kane and Eric Dier goals canceled out a sixth minute opener for Leicester by Youri Tielemans.

An absolute screamer from James Maddison will see both sides head into the break with nothing to separate them at 2-2.

In the second half, things quickly turned worse for Brendan Rodgers side as a goal from Rodrigo Bentancur and a Son hat-trick saw the home side blow Leicester away.
