2022/23 EPL Round 5: Ndidi’s Leicester Misery Continues, Dennis, Awoniyi Suffers Heavy Loss, Iwobi Grabs Assist, Adarabioyo Win; Nigerian Players Report

Ndidi’s Leicester have just a point since the beginning of the season which was against Brentford at Kings Power Stadium and all efforts to turn the season around have proven abortive with another loss against Man Utd piling more pressures on Brendan Rodgers.

Their decline remains a misery after making the semifinals of the inaugural Europa Conference League competition.

Ndidi was deployed as a center-back after the Foxes sold their French defender for a hefty price to Chelsea before the close of the transfer window and a veteran goalkeeper to Nice, a move which has proven to be very costly.

Iheanacho on the other hand has been an understudy to Vardy with the former England international preferred to lead the lines. He was later introduced in the 76th minute but wasn’t enough to spark a comeback, they narrowly lost again to Man Utd in a 1-0 scoreline.

Currently languishing bottom of the log-on goes their search for the first win of the season.

Taiwo Awoniyi and Emmanuel Dennis were introduced from the bench as they suffered a heavy defeat against EPL reigning Champions, Manchester City. They have hammered six goals with no response.

Iwobi proved instrumental to Everton again following their 1-1 draw against Leeds, the Nigerian beautifully set up Anthony Gordon for the Toffee’s only goal.

Tosin Adarabioyo helped Fulham to a 2-1 victory against high-flying Brighton who hasn’t lost a single game, Fulham broke the jinx.

Aribo Southampton secured a deserved and big win against Chelsea to turn their season around with the Midfielder introduced in the 60th minute from the bench.

Two Nigerian wins, two draws, and two losses for Round 5.
