Newcastle crashed out of the League cup on penalties last night.

Jonjo Shelvey missed a crucial spot kick against Leicester City and the midfielder believes it ruined his team’s performance.

He apologised to the fans and revealed that he won’t be taking penalties anymore.

Speaking to the Chronicle after the game, he said: “I want to apologise to the fans for missing the penalty. It was a shocking penalty on my behalf. I won’t be taking them anymore. I just wanted to come out and apologise to the fans. I thought we deserved more from the game and we worked our socks off against a very good Leicester side.
