Watch the official Newcastle 4 Leicester 0 match highlights below.
A match where Newcastle United dominated from first whistle to last whistle.
Ruud van Nistelrooy will have been relieved to escape with ‘only’ a four goal defeat.
United creating chance after chance throughout the game and only through luck, good goalkeeping and some average/poor finishing, did Eddie Howe’s side get just the four goals.
The goals Newcastle did score though, were well worth the entrance money, with some lovely flowing football from the home side.
Watch all the goals AND the celebrations.
See for yourselves.
