Today's game was the first time the Foxes failed to score in the Premier League this season.
Making his 12th successive start in the English topflight, the Nigeria international came close to breaking the deadlock on at least three occasions.

The 21-year-old had a total of five shots with two on target which was a game-high, made two key passes and won an astonishing ten aerial duels, another game-high.
The Nigerian defensive midfielder was the top interceptor with three and made two tackles over the course of ninety minutes.
