Wilfred Ndidi opened his account for the season in spectacular fashion on Tuesday night, thumping the ball home in off the far post with his weaker left foot following a short-corner routine as Leicester City defeated Chelsea 2-0 at the King Power Stadium.
The Nigeria national teamer was delighted to open the scoring inside six minutes as the visitors were in the ascendancy in the opening minutes of the game.
Ndidi has now scored four goals with his left foot in Leicester City colours as he also found the net with his left foot in previous matches against Derby County, Peterborough United and Southampton.
"If I count, [I’ve scored] maybe four or so, with my left foot!" the Foxes number 25 said to LCFC TV.
"It comes once in a while, but I just keep trying, you know! It was really good. It lifted the team.
"It’s something that when you get a goal at that time, you have the confidence to actually go for more.
"So, it was really good, and we stayed compact. As much as we wanted more, we still stayed compact."
Ndidi had gone 477 days without a goal before ending his drought against Chelsea.
