The goal even caught the attention of Premier League legend Matt Le Tissier, who was known for scoring spectacular efforts himself back in the 1990s.
Ndukwu, 18, is among Leicester’s brightest young talents and he has also represented England.
The winger had six goals in 17 appearances for the under-17 side, having previously featured for the under-16s.
In 16 appearances in all competitions this season, Ndukwu has scored three goals and provided four assists, and is a player to keep an eye on for the future.
