Here’s a quick rundown of the player ratings from the match:
Danny Ward (6/10): The Leicester goalkeeper was solid on a few occasions but couldn’t do much to stop the goals conceded. His positioning wasn’t ideal for the first goal, but he was let down by defensive errors in front of him.
James Justin (5/10): Justin had a challenging game against Newcastle’s pacey attackers. Though he showed determination, he was often caught out of position and struggled to make meaningful contributions in both defense and attack.
Caglar Soyuncu (4/10): The Turkish defender looked shaky at times, lacking the usual confidence. His passing was off, and he was part of the defensive mishaps that allowed Newcastle to score comfortably.
Wout Faes (5/10): Faes had an inconsistent performance, with some crucial defensive interceptions but also some poor decisions that led to pressure on the Leicester goal. He needs to improve his communication with the backline.
Luke Thomas (5/10): Thomas worked hard but was frequently exposed by Newcastle’s attackers, particularly in the second half. He did contribute going forward but couldn’t make up for his defensive lapses.
Youri Tielemans (7/10): Despite the team’s overall poor performance, Tielemans stood out as one of the few bright sparks. His composure and passing range were evident, and he was one of the few players able to dictate the tempo of play.
Boubakary Soumaré (6/10): Soumaré put in a solid shift, breaking up play and helping Leicester transition. However, he lacked the necessary drive to make an impact in the attacking third.
Harvey Barnes (7/10): Barnes was lively and one of Leicester’s best attacking threats. His pace and direct running caused Newcastle’s defense problems, and he was involved in their few bright attacking moments
