Leicester City stunned champions Liverpool on Saturday, scoring three times in the final 12 minutes of normal time to turn a defeat into a 3-1 victory.
For Alan Shearer, the Premier League's all-time record goalscorer, Wilfred Ndidi was the man who inspired the Foxes' triumph.
The midfielder made 19 ball recoveries, more than any other outfield player in a Premier League match this season, while also setting up Harvey Barnes' goal.
Both players have earned a place in Shearer's Team of the Week.
