Crush the "foxes"

Before the match, with a 15-point gap from the safe zone and only 8 rounds left, the chance of the " Foxes" staying in the league was almost gone. The " Foxes" could even have to say goodbye to the Premier League earlier if they continued their current losing streak. Since Ruud Van Nistelrooy took over, Leicester's performance has been on a downward spiral. The 0-2 loss to Man City in the middle of last week showed the "Foxes"' helplessness in both attack and defense. Although there was no major personnel change, the team was in turmoil when Nistelrooy and Harry Winks were said to have had a disagreement. Already "weak" and "disunited", it was inevitable that the "Foxes" would continue their losing streak against a rising opponent.

On the other hand, Leicester's opponent Newcastle is playing extremely confidently after winning the League Cup, the first title after decades of waiting. A victory over Leicester will help Newcastle enter the Top 4 of the Premier League and this is completely possible for the "Magpies". Simply because at the present time, the " Magpies" are proving to be too strong for the "Foxes". After winning the League Cup, Isak and his teammates are focusing all their efforts on winning tickets to the Champions League. The last 3 victories in all competitions, including 2 rounds in the Premier League, are proof of Newcastle's vitality. So even though they have to play on Leicester's field, the "Magpies" still leisurely take all 3 points.

Returning to the match, 2 minutes after the opening whistle, Jacob Murphy received a great assist from Livramento, scoring an own goal for Newcastle. It did not stop there, in the 11th minute, the score was 2-0 for the "Magpies" thanks to Murphy's goal. Leicester continued to receive the 3rd goal in the 34th minute by Newcastle's Harvey Barnes. The match was decided in the first 45 minutes. Because in the rest of the match, the away team was no longer interested in attacking. While Leicester, although very eager to attack, could not create enough pressure to score. The final result of the match was 3-0 in favor of the "Magpies".

The defeat to Newcastle did not officially send Leicester back to the First Division. However, with a 15-point gap from the “red light” zone, only a “miracle” can keep Leicester in the Premier League next season. Therefore, from now on, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and his team should prepare for the First Division next year.
