Super Eagles' Ndidi's stunning header for Leicester vs Joe Aribo and Southampton [WATCH]

In a convincing 5-0 victory over Southampton on Tuesday night, Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi was once again at the heart of Leicester City's impressive performance, capping off a brilliant team effort with a well-taken header.

The Foxes, who are now just a win away from an immediate return to the Premier League, were led by a standout display from Ghanaian youngster Fatawu, who scored a hat-trick on the night.

However, it was Ndidi's goal that caught the eye, showcasing the Nigerian's class and composure in front of goal.

The move started with Stephy Mavididi dribbling down the left flank, beating his man and delivering an inviting cross into the box.

Ndidi, making a perfectly timed run, rose high and powered his header into the back of the Southampton net, doubling Leicester's lead.

This was Ndidi's second goal in as many matches, and his fourth of the season, further cementing his status as a key player for the Foxes.

The 27-year-old Super Eagles superstar also has five assists to his name, underlining his importance to Leicester's attacking play.

The victory was a dominant one for the home side, with Fatawu's hat-trick and goals from Jamie Vardy and Ndidi ensuring a comfortable win.

With the result, Leicester maintain their push for an immediate return to the Premier League as the Foxes are now just a single victory away from achieving that goal.

Ndidi's continued excellence following a new role in the middle of the park will be crucial to Leicester's hopes of securing promotion.

His classy finish against Southampton was a testament to his quality and a reminder of the Nigerian's importance to Enzo Maresca's side.
