Wilson scored twice as Newcastle United eased their relegation fears with a shocking 4-2 win against us.

Evans pulled up injured in the Warm-up, with Albrighton replacing him, and the Magpies took advantage as an error by Soyuncu allowed Willock to finish after 22 minutes

Fofana’s header was saved at the other end by Dubravka, before Dummett doubled Newcastle’s lead with his 3rd PL goal on 34 minutes

Wilson’s breakaway strike on the 64th minute made it 3-0, and he added to the tally 9 minutes later to make it 4-0… putting us in the dumps

We did come back into the match a little bit, with Albrighton swerving shot gave us a little bit of hope, and Nacho bagging a second with 3 minutes to go, but it was too little too late that day…

Newcastle climb to 13th with 39 points from 35 matches, 12 clear of third-from-bottom Fulham, who have four left to play.

Leicester now sit in 4th place, 1 point behind Chelsea who overtook us in 3rd place… let’s hope we don’t lose the top 4… again!

This is what Leicester Fan Tv’s Sam had to say…
“The match against Newcastle was a must win, so the fact that we lost, and in quite a bad manor too, shows us that we need to pick up the pace a bit in these final few matches. It would be very disappointing to drop out of the top 4 again, but maybe it shows we don’t have depth or the desire to get it, but it really has been a very good season again, we just don’t want to throw away our amazing form in the last bit of the season”
