Withstood the hammering of… star Newcastle and Leicester hopes for the “miracle”!

Great moments live in Newcastleready to write a black page in the history of Leicester! The “magpies” dominated, played their opponent one-sidedly and wasted a bag of opportunities (23-1 finals). Nevertheless, they did not find the goal, they saw Pope in the 90’+2′ save the defeat with a great intervention and stayed in 0-0 with the “foxes”.

Nevertheless, the home side at least got the point that ensured their return to the groups Champions League after 21 years! At the same time, the visitors reached the same 31 points as Leeds, remaining in the relegation zone and looking for a miracle in the final matchday. Specifically, they are looking for the three points at the “King Power Stadium” against West Ham and laugh at her Everton to avoid the fatality.

The home team had absolute control of the match from the start, suffocating their opponents who were playing in half the field and did not produce… half a counterattack. In contrast, Howe’s players achieved a high possession percentage of 83%, while the finals were 14-0. Among them, two goals from Callum Wilson (41′) and Almiron (43′).

Dean Smith had… parked a bus at St James Park, the trick even with a bit of luck (and Iversen intervening whenever needed) he caught for the visitors who didn’t get out of their own half for the slightest moment. Newcastle kept on hammering, increasing their finals tally and a third through Longstaff in the 76th minute, but a goal was to come!

Leicester decided to raise their lines in the final. He started to hold the ball and take steps on the field, but he was not creating phases. He made a final in the whole game, specifically in the 90’+3′ when Maddison crossed and Castañe caught a great turn, with Pope doing an incredible operation and… pulling the sheet, spoiling the trick-gross that he went to set up Leicester for the final 0-0…
