Newcastle produced their best performance of the season as they beat Leicester City 4-2 at the King Power Stadium.
Goals from Joe Willock, Paul Dummett and a brace by Callum Wilson ensured a comprehensive rout for the boys in black and white.
Steve Bruce’s men are now all but safe from relegation and this win sees the team continue their recent decent form.
Leicester had no answer for a Newcastle team who, in fairness, could have scored even more goals.
Newcastle led 2-0 at the half-time interval but Leicester showed little signs of a comeback during the second period.
One man who showcased his undoubted talents was Matt Ritchie.
The experienced performer is a big favourite in the eyes of supporters and he was a real handful for Leicester.
Ritchie has been linked with a move away from Newcastle in the past but on this showing he’s still an integral player.
Following tonight’s stunning win, we looked at what fans were saying about the £45,000-a-week player on Twitter.
