Leicester Sets Record with Eighth Straight Home Loss

Leicester City has set a new unwanted record by becoming the first team in Football League history to lose eight consecutive home matches without scoring a goal, following a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United. Jacob Murphy scored twice early on, and Harvey Barnes added a third before halftime, leaving Leicester 15 points adrift of safety with only seven games left in the Premier League. This loss continues a dire streak for Leicester, who have not found the net in over 12 hours of play and have not scored at home since December. The Foxes are hovering above relegation, needing results to change quickly to avoid dropping down to the Championship. Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy's tenure has not improved the team's fortunes, and they are now facing the prospect of relegation as early as Easter weekend. Amid this turmoil, 15-year-old Jeremy Monga made his debut, becoming the second-youngest player in Premier League history.
