Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheancho involvement on Sunday Premier League against Tottenham could not save Leicester City from a huge 3-0 loss.

Ndidi who has been a regular starter for Brendan Rodgers was included in the starting XI while Iheanacho was benched.

The Foxes saw their hioe of pick a UEFA Champions League ticket for next season dented.

Leicester City dominated possession and could have gone in front in the 5th minute through a Youri Tielemans’ freekick.

However, an unfortunate own goal from James Justin in the sixth minute and  a brace from Harry Kane later in the first half sealed all three points for José Mourinho’s side.

Iheanacho was thrown into the game in the 59th minute as the Foxes who had much of the possession began to  look for a goal.

But his inclusion couldn’t yield any goals.

Rodgers substituted Ndidi for Nampalys Mendy in the 70th minute, yet there was no way the Foxes could get not even one goal.

Despite the result, Leicester City still remain fourth as Chelsea and Manchester United have a game at hand due to their involvement in the FA Cup semi-final.

Speaking after the game, Rodgers admitted that individual quality cost the the game.

He also revealed his reason for bringing Iheanacho in the early minutes of the second half was to get a goal.

“Obviously, we bring on an extra attacker in Dimi (Demarai Gray) and then we bring Kels (Kelechi Iheanacho) into it as well and young George Hirst, so we’re still trying to push to get goals.

“But we just couldn’t quite make the breakthrough and their goalkeeper made a few good saves.”

Reflecting on the result the former Celtic manager said his side is yet to deal with counter attack.

“It was a strange game because we were really good in parts.

“The parts we weren’t so good in was things that we’ve spoken about: dealing with the counter-attack.

He also rued the defense were caught unguarded in the three goals.

“The first one we’re disappointed with because we’ve got to have a better pressure higher up the pitch. 

“Instead, Harry [Kane] turns and makes the pass in behind and they get a bit of luck.

“The other two: obviously a breakaway from a corner and a great finish. 

“That individual quality hurt us, but it was strange. 

“It didn’t feel that we should’ve been 3-0 down.

“I thought that, at 1-0, we had a great chance with Ayo (Ayoze Pérez) and the ‘keeper made a great save. We were getting into some really good areas.

“I think our shape was causing them a lot of problems, but we just couldn’t make the breakthrough. 

“Like I say, we conceded three poor goals.”

“I think the attitude of the players was really good, we kept going,” he added.

“We were still aggressive. We didn’t give up on it, which is important, and we kept fighting right until the very end.

“It’s just that first half and, in particular, the timing of the goals [which] hurt us and the second half was a bit better.

“I was just thinking that if we could get a goal, goals can always change the momentum of the game.

” I felt if we could get a goal, then that’ll give us that impetus to go on and then you just never know.”
