Get a report of the Leicester City vs. Newcastle United 2022-23 English Premier League football match.

"We lacked many things today, they were way better than us from the start of the game." It's a trademark goal for Miggy [Almiron] and a really good team move," Newcastle manager Eddie Howe told the BBC. "Coming here, knowing how difficult it was going to be, the start was really important to us. Leicester are 13th on 17 points. [Miguel Almiron](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/48128/Miguel-Almirón) added a brilliant second in the seventh minute, cutting in from the right before playing a one-two with [Bruno Guimaraes](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/218522/bruno-guimaraes) and slotting the return pass in at the far post. [Daniel Amartey](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/186047/Daniel-Amartey) got the match off to a terrible start for the hosts, gifting Newcastle a penalty when he chopped down Joelinton after 86 seconds, and striker [Chris Wood](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/134190/Chris-Wood) blasted the spot-kick into the middle of the net.

But the Kiwi lifts his shot just over the bar and City escape. He gets there ahead of Pope, hits the ball into the England keeper, and then it rebounds off the Zambian, rolling towards the net. But he takes too long to turn, can't build up speed, and is shoulder barged off the ball. He slides the ball coolly into the bottom corner. He can't but he does force one Newcastle defender to boot the ball into another, and it very nearly results in an own goal. Dennis Praet took his place, but was substituted off with an injury of his own in the first half of the game. “I’ve had 300 games as a Premier League manager from today and one of the things I’ve learned during that period is that there is clearly quality in the Premier League, but the one thing you need to have is the right attitude and commitment, especially at the start of games. He crosses into the box and Barnes has lost his man. The start to the game was nowhere near what we want. I’ll speak to the medical team in the morning and see what the timeline might be on it."

Miguel Almiron scored his ninth goal of the season in Newcastle United's resounding win over Leicester City to propel the Magpies to second in the table.

Tim Ream added a second before an inevitable Aleksandar Mitrovic header sealed all three points. Kieran Tripper received a cross-field pass from Bruno Guimaraes and sent a looping pass down Newcastle’s right side for Almiton to run onto. Daniel Amartey clumsily brought down Joelinton in the box inside 60 seconds as the midfielder drove toward goal. [Tottenham were in action at Brentford earlier in the day and came back from two goals down to salvage a point](https://www.eurosport.com/football/premier-league/2022-2023/brentford-v-tottenham-premier-league-live_sto9289022/story.shtml), with Harry Kane and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg on the scoresheet for the visitors. Brighton were also rampant in their game against struggling Southampton and were two goals to the good before the break thanks to a glanced Adam Lallana header and a Romain Perraud own goal. The Paraguayan chased the ball down and cut inside where he picked out Guimaraes in the middle, who had made a gut-busting run to join the attack, before returning the pass to complete a quick one-two as he split the Leicester defence open for Almiron to run through and poke the ball beyond Ward.

All three goals came in the first half via goals from Chris Wood, Miguel Almiron, and Joelinton. City dominated possession, but in the most Puelesque way ...

The defensive pairing of Amartey and Faes, backed by Ward and screened by Soumare, simply wasn’t up to the task. We looked improved in that Iheanacho made himself available and was eager to take shots, but getting them on target was a bridge too far for the Nigerian. Sven Botman reached in and pushed the ball off of the Leicester winger and off of Dan Burn. The ball tricked off the defender and just wide of the post. The defeat leaves us on 17 points from 16 matches and 13th on the table for the time being. The referee blew the whistle and pointed to the spot, which was fair, as it was a penalty all day. Players started trying to thread perfect passes or do too much on defence and we were fortunate to get to the half-time whistle down by only three goals. Miguel Almiron collected the ball on the Foxes’ left, turned inside and touched the ball to Bruno Guimarães, and continued his run to collect the return ball. The Magpies made it a three-goal advantage on the half-hour mark. The Belgium midfielder was unable to continue, so Ayoze Perez was summoned from the increasingly-thin bench. That was the first lead goal the back four featuring Faes and Amartey had surrendered a goal in the Premier League. City dominated possession, but in the most Puelesque way possible, and never seriously threatened to score.

Wembley Stadium, for one, showcases the facilities of the relatively new version of the stadium (completed in 2007) alongside artefacts and memorabilia from the old one’s unique history. “We’re also very excited to be launching a new marketing campaign across the GCC early next year, showcasing the great reasons to choose Britain in a year of landmark events, set to be global tourism draws. According to VisitBritain’s statistics, more than 50 percent of visitors who watched football during their trips also take time to see the UK’s cultural monuments and buildings, and almost three-quarters included a restaurant meal. The introduction of the Electronic Travel Authorization scheme for GCC visitors in 2023, alongside our strong airline and route connectivity, will make it even easier to visit the UK, boosting our competitive tourism offer to the region.” “The GCC is a very important tourism market for Britain,” said VisitBritain’s Interim Deputy Director Carol Maddison. “We also want to deliver a world-class welcome.
