😳 Leicester City continue worrying trend against Newcastle United

Ruud Van Nistelrooy's Leicester City may not be in a relegation scrap just yet, but they will need to improve in one key area to avoid dropping into it across the remainder of the campaign.

The Foxes fell a goal down to Newcastle United after half an hour courtesy of a goal from Jacob Murphy, his first of the season for Magpies.

And it continued a worrying trend for the Foxes, who have now conceded 17 times in the first half of games this season, a record high that only Wolves can beat across the top flight.

They'll need to come from behind again to get anything at St James' Park.
