Newcastle United have moved up on the Premier League table to second place behind top spot Arsenal after they thrashed Leicester City 3-0 in their clash at the King Power Stadium on Monday.
Newcastle have now become the team with the longest winning streak this season in the Premier League with six straight wins.
The opening goal was early in the game in the first three minutes, after Newcastle’s Chris Wood scored a penalty, following a bad tackle from the Foxes. Midfielder Miguel Almiron went on to double the scoreline in the seventh minute and later Joelinton tripled it in the 32nd minute.
