After back-to-back home games against West Ham and Brighton, this was arguably Ruud Van Nistelrooy's biggest test of his brief Leicester reign so far – but the visitors fell short in every department at St James' Park.

Newcastle cruised to a 4-0 victory over Leicester at St James' Park to end a run of four games without a win. A rampant Newcastle claimed their first victory in a month, with a Jacob Murphy brace and goals from Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak giving Ruud van Niselrooy his first defeat as Leicester boss.
