There are a lot of words you can use to describe Leicester City’s defeat to Newcastle United. A few choice ones will do. It was an abject humiliation, an embarrassing capitulation and about as gutless and as clueless a performance as you are likely to see at this level.
The standard of football was awful; the contest between a Newcastle side that moved above Manchester City into fifth with this win was not competitive.
It was Eddie Howe’s Champions League chasing side’s easiest win of the season and they did not even play well. Newcastle were professional but they were far from scintillating.
