Newcastle United Beats Leicester 4-0 at Home

Newcastle United secured a decisive 4-0 victory over Leicester City at St. James’ Park, with Jacob Murphy scoring twice. The win marks Newcastle's third victory in their last twelve league matches, alleviating some pressure on head coach Eddie Howe. Murphy opened the scoring from a well-executed set-piece, while Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak added to the tally shortly after the break, capitalizing on Leicester's defensive woes following a goalkeeper change. Leicester, now managed by Ruud van Nistelrooy, suffered their first defeat under his leadership and remain vulnerable in the relegation zone. The result lifts Newcastle to 11th in the Premier League standings, setting them up favorably for their upcoming Carabao Cup quarter-final against Brentford. Newcastle's attacking prowess was evident throughout, dominating possession and creating numerous chances against a struggling Leicester side.
