In his fourth consecutive start for Leicester City this season, Ndidi was the star for the Foxes as he had in two goals they scored against Crystal Palace at the Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.
He assisted club legend Jamie Vardy for the opener in the first half before creating the chance for the second goal by feeding Stephy Mavididi at the start of the second half to register a brace of assists for the first time in the English top-flight.
His effort to give Steve Cooper's side their first win of the campaign was undone as Jean-Phillipe Mateta scored two goals to help Crystal Palace figure back and rescue a point in the game.
