Lewis Hall extended his brilliant run of form during Newcastle United’s 4-0 win over Leicester City.
Creating chances and scoring goals has been an issue for Newcastle United this season but that certainly wasn’t the case on Saturday afternoon.
Newcastle United swept Leicester City aside with a dominant display at St James’ Park with Jacob Murphy scoring twice with Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak also on the scoresheet.
But while Saturday’s scorers will hog the headlines, there were some exceptional performances further back with Newcastle fans raving about Lewis Hall’s display.
After a slow start on Tyneside, Hall is now reaching superstar status at Newcastle and is one of the first names on Eddie Howe’s teamsheet.
