Newly appointed Leicester City Dean Smith has refused to blame Nigeria International Wilfred Ndidi for the penalty against Manchester City.
The hardworking midfielder committed a penalty on Saturday at the Etihad Stadium and it was converted by Erling Haaland.
The manager said Ndidi can’t be blamed for the penalty and the ball can hit his face or hand, he has no choice at that moment
“Yes, it’s unfortunate. I mean, Tim (Castagne) is looking to stop the cross. Jack Grealish lifts it, you know, to stand it up at the far post, and Wilf’s lifted his leg to try and stop it as well.
“And if the ball doesn’t hit his hand, it hits his face. But I would have certainly been claiming that as well if I was their manager”, he told LCTV
