Ndidi helped Leicester City earn a 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at the King Power Stadium on Monday night.
Pedro Porro gave Spurs the lead, while Leicester City skipper James Vardy restored parity for the home side.
Ndidi had incredibly cleared the ball off the line to deny Spurs taking the lead in the sixth minute.
Smith, who was on commentary duty for Sky Sports, praised the experienced Nigerian midfielder for his heroic effort.
“That was a sensational clearance from Wilfried Ndidi off the line. It really was,” he was quoted as saying by the BBC.
The Super Eagles midfielder played the entire duration of the game.
He managed 57 touches, completed 79 per cent of his passes, had one shot on target, won four of his eight ground duels, won the only aerial duel he contested, and made four clearances and two blocks.
