After almost 40 games, Wilfred Ndidi finally got on the bad books of Premier League officials.
Ndidi, who clocked 21 on Saturday, was sent off as Leicester City crashed 3-0 at home to Crystal Palace.
As expected, Twitter had something to say about the only low so far for the Nigerian since moving to England last January.
Some though not too positive.
Wilfred Ndidi has been sent off on his birthday. Not the card he would’ve wanted.

🌊 Wilfred Ndidi with a dive Ashley Young would be proud of…
– 2-0 down
– 10 men
Can they salvage a point?#LEICRY pic.twitter.com/5hbRI3dKM2

RED CARD FOR #LCFC
Plenty of cards for the birthday boy, Wilfred Ndidi is SENT OFF😢
The Nigerian is already on a yellow card & goes down in the box.
Does James McArthury clips in ankle from behind? There seems to be a slight touch.
Martin Atkinson does not think so.🔶🔴📝BBC pic.twitter.com/RXjPmr4lmw
