Wilfred Ndidi gets a red card for his 21st Birthday

Wilfred Ndidi is a fan-favourite, and that showed when he was applauded as he walked off the ground, but in all honesty, it was a blatant dive asking for a red-card. Leicester City had a goal ruled out just moments before, and maybe it was desperation more than anything else from the Nigerian, whose mistake effectively ended all of the Foxes’ hopes of any comeback.

The Birthday boy also became just the second player in Premier League history after Newcastle United’s Dwight Gayle to be sent off on his Birthday.
