Nigeria midfielder Wilfred Ndidi scored his second English Premier League goal as Leicester cruised to a 3-0 victory over Watford at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

The English champions succeeded in guaranteeing their Premier League survival with a deserved home victory over struggling Watford, as they stay on 9th with 43 points.

It was Ndidi who blasted in from 10 yards out to put the home team ahead in the 38th minute. His goal came after the opponents failed to clear Danny Drinkwater’s cross following a short corner.

Reigning African Player of the Year, Riyad Mahrez, then doubled the lead as he pounced on a mistake from Adrian Mariappa about 13 minutes into the second half.

Marc Albrighton added the third goal in injury time to ensure Leicester have a place in the top-flight next season.

Watford, who suffered their third successive defeat, dropped to 15th in the Premier League, eight points above the relegation zone with three games remaining.

“I’m pleased with the result, the performance wasn’t quite there but ultimately it is about the result and it is another clean sheet,” Leicester coach Craig Shakespeare said after the victory
