Newcastle United 4-0 Leicester City: Magpies inflict first defeat on new Foxes boss Ruud Van Nistelrooy

By Total Football News

Saturday’s success was only the Magpies’ third in the Premier League since mid-September, but such is the congestion in the middle part of the table that they are only four points off fourth-placed Manchester City before a key run of fixtures.

Whether Howe’s team can finally generate some momentum remains to be seen, but there were positive signs here as they caused the Foxes numerous problems down the left-hand side

Tottenham Hotspur: Romero backs Postecoglou after Chelsea defeat

By Total Football News

Tottenham defender Cristian Romero has backed Ange Postecoglou, while his manager insists he will not change his approach after a hugely disappointing 4-3 defeat by Chelsea.

Spurs led 2-0 within 11 minutes but ended up losing with Cole Palmer netting two penalties – both for fairly needless fouls by Tottenham players.

Postecoglou’s side have only won one of their past seven games in all competitions, losing four of them.

Wood’s header means he is now Forest’s record Premier League scorer, overtaking Bryan Roy by moving to 25 in the competition.

The New Zealand forward has certainly struck up a positive working relationship with manager Nuno Espirito Santo, taking his tally to 21 goals in 31 Premier League appearances under the Portuguese, including 13 in 16 matches away from the City Ground.

When asked about how he sees his immediate future going into the international break, Edwards said: “That is out of my hands. I want what’s best for the club.”

West Ham 3-1 Luton: Hatters on brink of drop after defeat

By Total Football News

One of the major criticisms of Moyes from West Ham fans – who have been demanding a change of manager since before he ended their 43-year trophy drought in the Europa Conference League last June – was his seeming refusal to give younger players a chance.

Given that, it is ironic a youth-team product scored the last home goal under the Scot.
