Murphy sealed his brace on the hour mark, finishing off a quick counter-attack led by Isak. Leicester\u2019s defense had no answers to Newcastle\u2019s intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tactical Masterclass from Eddie Howe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe praised his side\u2019s performance, saying, “The first goal was key. Once we got the second, we could really express ourselves. This was one of our best displays this season.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Howe\u2019s decision to start Lewis Hall at left-back proved vital. The 20-year-old played a pivotal role, contributing two assists and causing constant problems for Leicester with his attacking runs. Hall\u2019s rise has solved Newcastle\u2019s left-back dilemma, and fans are already calling for him to make England\u2019s national team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leicester, currently 16th in the Premier League, were left reeling after this heavy defeat. Despite their effort, they were outplayed in every department. Wide players Stephy Mavididi and Kasey McAteer worked hard defensively but couldn\u2019t stop Newcastle\u2019s onslaught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Van Nistelrooy admitted his side\u2019s shortcomings, saying, “It\u2019s hard when you concede from simple set-piece situations. We kept trying, but today wasn\u2019t our day.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The victory pushes Newcastle up to 11th in the league, tied on points with Brentford and just four points behind the top four. Eddie Howe\u2019s side will look to build on this win when they face Brentford in the EFL Cup quarter-final on December 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leicester, meanwhile, sit just four points above the relegation zone. They must regroup quickly ahead of their crucial home game against Wolves next Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Premier League<\/a> is heating up, and Newcastle\u2019s thrilling victory is just one example of the drama.
