00:00
Newcastle up to fifth.
00:03
A 3-0 win at Leicester City on Monday night.
00:05
A brace from Jacob Murphy and then a third from Fulham Nesta player Harvey Barnes.
00:10
Capped off what was, let's be honest, an unbelievably easy night for Newcastle in the end.
00:15
I actually think Newcastle weren't overall that great in the game, to be honest.
00:20
I thought second half their attacking prowess sort of died away a little bit.
00:23
They didn't really do an awful lot and yet they still came away relatively untroubled throughout.
00:30
The game.
00:31
Yeah, as you say, easy was the right word to use on Monday night.
00:34
It was just from the minute, you know, from the minute sort of Jacob Murphy put that ball in.
00:40
What was it, the second minute I think it was, they never looked back.
00:42
They never looked like losing.
00:44
You're right, they weren't great.
00:45
I think defensively they let them in a couple of times.
00:47
Obviously Jamie Vardy had a really early shot, which Pope saved.
00:51
Pope made another good save and obviously they hit the post twice.
00:54
Leicester obviously hadn't scored in the eighth consecutive home games now.
00:57
It just felt like it was never going to go in for them.
01:00
But yeah, they were really bad.
01:01
Leicester, they were probably the worst team I've seen.
01:03
I know Southampton are already relegated and Leicester have picked up more points than them,
01:07
but they were really bad.
01:09
And the crowd had turned on them pretty much as soon as Murphy had scored.
01:12
So yeah, it was a strange night on Monday.
01:16
Buffer Newcastle, it's a win.
01:17
And I think we said before the Brentford game, just you have to get wins at this stage of the season.
01:22
They've got, they managed to keep this winning streak going.
01:25
And yeah, that's all they need to do.
01:26
And they put themselves in a good position.
01:27
It was important they did that with Man City.
01:31
Obviously, Jordan on Sunday, Brighton and Bournemouth both dropped on points, you know,
01:35
and Nottingham Forest, of course.
01:36
So it was nice for them to sort of keep their momentum in that race for European football.
01:39
But yeah, so easy.
01:41
And yeah, I'm sure you'll talk about it, but obviously that second goal, can we?
01:45
I would dedicate the whole podcast to that, to be honest.
01:48
I'm happy to talk about it.
01:49
But yeah, it was just a really easy night.
01:51
And yeah, three points, that's exactly what they needed.
01:54
I'm actually quite good.
01:55
Yeah, we'll come on to that story where we are.
01:57
I'm actually quite gutted, to be honest, that Fabian Scher didn't score that goal.
02:01
Because he, let's be honest, with that technique, he deserved it.
02:04
I mean, from watching it myself, I was actually, I thought he should have initially played the ball,
02:08
just cleaned through to Jacob Murphy, who was sprinting through.
02:11
But of course, he sees the goalkeeper off his line, goes for the chip.
02:16
And well, it's quite the strike.
02:22
So unlucky that it doesn't just dip just in time, hits the bar.
02:26
But Jacob Murphy reacts.
02:27
He keeps on running, whereas the Leicester defence, they all just stand and bowl watch.
02:31
And to be honest, Jacob Murphy, a little bit of a poor touch,
02:33
but then, you know, it's the easiest of tasks to put it into the back of the net.
02:36
It was just, that just sort of capped off what Leicester were about.
02:40
I think not necessarily like the shyest shot, but the fact that none of them reacted when Murphy did.
02:46
And obviously, I know Leicester gave the ball away an awful lot as well.
02:48
But yeah, I mean, go for it.
02:51
Tell us what you thought about it.
02:53
Yeah, I think from the second it left his boot,
02:56
I genuinely think 90% of that stadium probably thought it was in,
02:58
from our point of view, in the press box, quite high up.
03:01
It looked like it was going to dip in.
03:02
And you're just sort of, you know, you're just watching it.
03:05
And, you know, like other goals, it's quite instinctual.
03:07
You have that one.
03:08
You have the time to sort of think about, oh, this is actually going to go in.
03:11
You can see they keep out struggling.
03:13
And of course, it didn't.
03:15
Murphy did really well to finish it eventually, as you see, after mistouching it.
03:19
But yeah, it was just fantastic from Cher.
03:21
There's not a lot of players in world football able to do that.
03:23
Certainly not, you know, centre-backs.
03:24
And the thing is, you're not really surprised.
03:27
He's almost done that as well, because you just know he's capable of it.
03:30
And that out of anyone in that team, he would be the one who does that.
03:33
And much like when we talk about Tonali's goal against Brentford,
03:36
he's probably the one who could score that.
03:37
You'd think Fabi-Cher's probably the only Newcastle player who can score that kind of goal.
03:41
But yeah, it was brilliant from him.
03:42
And well done to Jacob Murphy following in.
03:44
As you see, the Leicester players just stopped.
03:46
And then that is a symptom of a team they are and where they are currently,
03:49
where they're probably not just putting in that extra 5-10%.
03:52
They're switching off at the wrong times.
03:53
And yeah, Murphy finished up.
03:55
And yeah, it was, I was just, I was good.
03:58
Of course, I was good for Cher.
03:59
They didn't go in.
04:00
But, you know, it was, I'm glad that that won't be forgotten.
04:04
You know, in the history that we'll always, you know,
04:06
know that moment because of the goal.
04:08
And I spoke to him after the game and he said that he thought he'd gone in.
04:11
He thought he'd hit it perfectly.
04:12
And he was a little bit good that it wasn't his.
04:15
He was actually good that he didn't think he'd got the assist.
04:17
I don't actually know if he has got the assist or not.
04:19
But he was slightly good that he didn't get the assist in his mind.
04:22
Like certainly, you know, in the immediate aftermath of the game.
04:24
But yeah, Murphy did really well finish it up.
04:27
And I think from what was at the 11th minute,
04:29
that was, if the game over,
04:30
if the game wasn't over after the second minute,
04:32
it certainly was then.
04:33
Yes, I completely agree.
04:35
I mean, obviously then Barnes gets a third a bit later on.
04:38
Some good work from Joe Linton and Izak to create that chance.
04:41
But yeah, a comprehensive win for Newcastle.
