Ndidi Scores as Leicester City Dominates Tranmere in Carabao Cup
Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi scored his first goal of the season in Leicester City's emphatic 4-0 victory over Tranmere Rovers in the second round of the Carabao Cup. The match, held at the King Power Stadium, saw Ndidi donning the number 6 jersey for the first time after switching from his previous number 25.
Ndidi's goal came in the 71st minute after a well coordinated move involving teammates Harry Winks and Jordan Ayew. This was his third game of the season, and his performance helped secure Leicester's place in the next round of the competition.
