Newcastle’s insane start meant that Leicester never had the chance to get back into the game. The goals of Wood, Almirón, and Joelinton allowed the team to control the game with no risks from start to finish.
2′: Newcastle was immediately awarded a penalty. Not the start that Leicester wanted.
3′ ⚽: Chris Wood took the penalty and made it 0-1 for New Castle.
7′ ⚽: Newcastle with absolutely no mercy. A huge inattention by Leicester’s defense allowed Miguel Almirón to easily score the second goal of the day for his team.
32′ ⚽: Newcastle strikes again. Joelinton made it 3-0 with a header after a beautiful corner kick. It really was a nightmare for Leicester.
42′: Joelinton went near to scoring his second goal of the day. A low cross from the left found him alone in the box, but his shot was just high over the crossbar.
61′: Newcastle risked an own goal. Luckily for them, the ball went just wide the left post.
91′: Newcastle almost made it 4-0. The shot was saved, though, and the striker position was also deemed offside.
