Only Newcastle United could cause such panic despite taking a 4-0 lead.
The Magpies were cruising to a huge victory when Callum Wilson netted his second. However, there was nearly a twist in the tale.
Marc Albrighton and Kelechi Iheanacho clawed two goals back for Leicester, setting up a nervy finish.
Fortunately, we were able to cling on for a valuable three points. It could be the three points that secures our Premier League status.
Leicester very nearly made it 4-3, but former Magpie Ayoze Perez was denied by an incredible save from Martin Dubravka.
The Slovakian was in inspired form at the King Power Stadium.
There were some suggestions that he should have done better with Albrighton’s goal, but it was a wonderful strike.
Even before Newcastle took control of the game, Dubravka was pivotal.
Shortly after taking the lead, Wesley Fofana’s header was kept out.
And on the stroke of half-time Dubravka made himself big to deny Jamie Vardy. That was a crucial moment, because Leicester would have had a lot more belief going into half time only 2-1 down.
But Dubravka delivered. That is why he is our number one. That is why he is one of the best goalkeepers outside the top six.
The 32-year-old was questioned last week for his role in Arsenal’s opener. During Sky Sports’ coverage, Roy Keane said: “For me, the ‘keeper has to save this. To me he’s got a good hand to it, he has to save it. Not good enough.”
While Dubravka disappointed last week, it was a poor performance all round by Steve Bruce’s side.
But against Leicester, Newcastle were so much better. And when they had to rely on their goalkeeper, he stood up to the task.
Newcastle picked up a huge three points on Friday night, but it wouldn’t have been possible without Martin Dubravka.
