Former Chelsea Women’s striker Karen Carney described Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi’s performance in Saturday’s Premier League match against Manchester City as a “nightmare.” Carney, who also played for Arsenal, said she was “honest” that Ndidi “had a bit of a nightmare the whole game.”
The controversy centered on a handball by Ndidi that led to Manchester City’s second goal, scored by Erling Haaland. The referee initially did not award a penalty, but after consulting the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) and reviewing the monitor, he changed his decision. Carney told Premier League Production, “He’s there, one‑on‑one with Jack Grealish. He knows he’s going to get to the byline, a cross is coming in. As soon as Jack crossed it, I think we all said that is a penalty. His arm clearly hit it. That is a blatant handball. To be fair, Grealish should have had one before this.”
Manchester City ultimately defeated Leicester City 3‑1.
