Eagles in EPL winless as Ndidi bags assist in loss

At the King Power Stadium, Ndidi’s creative moment came as he set up Facundo Buonano for Leicester’s consolation goal. The Foxes had fallen behind to goals from Amadou Onana and Jhon Duran before Ndidi’s assist gave them a glimmer of hope.

However, the Nigerian midfielder was replaced by Bobby De Cordova-Reid one minute from time as Leicester pushed for an equalizer. The result leaves the Foxes winless this season with one draw and two defeats, placing them in a precarious position early in the campaign.

Joe Aribo’s Southampton faced a tough 3-1 defeat against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. The Nigerian midfielder started the match but was substituted in the 82nd minute for Adam Lallana.

Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo was the star of the show, scoring twice, while Yoane Wissa added a third. Yukinari Sugawara netted a late consolation for the Saints. Southampton’s struggles continue as they sit second from bottom in the league table with zero points after three straight losses since their return to the top flight.

At Portman Road, Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey of Fulham had to settle for a 1-1 draw against newly promoted Ipswich Town. Liam Delap broke the deadlock for Ipswich with a stunning strike in the opening hour before Adama Traore equalized just after the half-hour mark.
