Nigerians celebrate Iheanacho, Ndidi as Leicester City wins first FA Cup final against Chelsea

Leicester football club has made history as they won their first major FA cup after Youri Tielemans screamer.

Leicester had been the club to have reached the most finals but never won one. This changed tonight, as fans watched the club finally win their first-ever FA Cup, as Leicester City beat Chelsea 1-0.

Moreso, one of the highlights of the game was watching Chelsea’s 90th-minute own-goal equaliser ruled out by VAR for the thinnest of offsides.

Nigerian Leicester players Kelechi Ihenacho and Ndidi at the end of the game flew the Nigerian flag as many Nigerians rooted for them to win the FA cup despite being a Chelsea fan.

However, in celebrating the duo, Ihenacho and Ndidi, Nigerians have taken to Twitter to give warm support.
