Leicester City suffered another disappointing defeat in front of their home fans, effectively reaching a definitive Premier League relegation.
Leicester City lost to Newcastle United 0-3 in the 31st round of the 2024-2025 Premier League at King Power Stadium in Leicester, England, at 4 a.m. on the 8th (Korea time).
The match left Leicester with 17 points (4 wins, 5 draws and 22 losses) and 19th in the league. In the remaining seven matches, the gap between the 17th-ranked Wolverhampton (32 points), which is escaping from the relegation zone, is 15 points. In fact, the team is highly likely to be demoted. With the lowest-ranked Southampton having already confirmed its relegation, chances are high that Leicester will become the second team to be demoted.
Leicester, which collapsed in the first three minutes of the game, gave up three goals by the 34th minute of the first half, giving up its victory early. Newcastle scored the first goal with the sharp breathing of Valentino Livramento and Jacob Murphy, and Murphy later scored the second goal as Fabian Cher's mid-range shot bounced off the crossbar.
In the 34th minute of the first half, Bruno Guimarães' shot was blocked by the goalkeeper in the counterattack, but Harvey Barnes pushed the second ball and effectively sealed the game.
Leicester added Pacundo Buonanote and Steffi Mabidi in the second half to make changes, but it was not enough to revive the atmosphere that collapsed in the first half. Newcastle finished the game without losing a point in the remaining time with a stable operation.
Leicester's problem is not limited to just defense insecurity. Above all, his lack of offense is serious. He has continued his scoreless streak by not scoring a single goal during the eight consecutive losses including this game.
After a lackluster performance under Steve Cooper at the beginning of the season, the club boldly replaced the manager and appointed Ruud van Nistelrooy, who had shown performance as an interim manager at Manchester United. Rather than the effect of managerial change, the situation has worsened, and the team is now falling into the abyss with eight consecutive losses.
Newcastle, on the other hand, scored 53 points for this season, and has advanced to fifth place in the league, beating Manchester City (52 points). The team also has a chance to advance to the Champions League. 카지노사이트
In the remaining seven games, Leicester will inevitably be relegated to the second division unless there is a miraculous rebound. It is urgent to restore the team's scoring ability, tactical transformation, and mental reorganization of the team. Given the recent performance and atmosphere, a hopeful outlook is not easy.
