Newcastle United returned to winning ways in style after their 4-0 win against Leicester City at St. James’ Park.

A brace from Jacob Murphy alongside goals from Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak led to Eddie Howe’s si🅰de bouncing back from their 4-2 defeat against Brentford.

Newcastle were dominant from start to finish, with🅰 Murphy initially opening the scoring with a lovely finish into the bottom corner from inside the box.

Guimaraes doubled the hosts’ lead with a routine header from close quarters after Lewis Hall’s header founဣd him in acres of space.

Isak added to Leicester’s misery by scoring a similar goal to the Brazilian and he w🔯ent on to assist Murphy’s well-taken strike to round off a wonderful day for the Magpies.
