With City not playing until Wednesday, Newcastle moved a point above the Premier League champions into second place with an impressive win at Leicester.
The Magpies dominated and went 3-0 up with only 32 minutes on the clock. A Chris Wood penalty, plus goals from Miguel Almiron and Joelinton, made it a Boxing Day to savour for the travelling fans.
The Newcastle supporters were heard chanting “we’re gonna win the league” but does manager Eddie Howe think the same?
“We can do anything,” said Howe. “The season is still young enough for all possibilities to exist for us.”
