'It's a terrible tackle' - Ex-Chelsea star insists Super Eagles star Ndidi should be given red card
Wilfred Ndidi has drawn the ire of a former Chelsea star following his dangerous tackle in Leicester City’s Premier League clash against Chelsea.
With Van Nistelrooy watching from the stands, Leicester's performance was lacklustre, particularly in the second half when they crumbled under pressure from a rampant Brentford side.
The Bees were led by Kevin Schade, who celebrated his first professional hattrick to make it a day to remember for the young striker and a nightmare for the Foxes.

Leicester initially took the lead through Facundo Buonanotte, who scored after a well-executed counterattack. However, Brentford quickly equalised through Yoane Wissa, who capitalised on Schade's assist.
The home side then took control of the match, with Schade scoring three times to secure a comprehensive victory.
)
This defeat is particularly concerning for Leicester, as they have struggled to find form this season. The loss leaves them in a precarious position in the Premier League standings, with Van Nistelrooy set to take charge officially in their next match against West Ham.
In light of the team's struggles, Van Nistelrooy will need to act swiftly to address the defensive frailties that were exposed during the match.

The defeat against Brentford serves as a stark reminder of the work that lies ahead for the former interim boss at Manchester United and his coaching staff as they aim to turn around Leicester's fortunes and restore confidence within the squad.
