Brendan Rodgers was understandably 'not happy' in the Leicester City dressing room after Newcastle United put his side to the sword in the Foxes' own backyard.
The Magpies picked up from where they left off before the World Cup break with an impressive 3-0 win at the King Power Stadium to move up to second place in the table. It felt like yet another statement performance; the Boxing Day clash may have been Newcastle's first Premier League game in more than six weeks, but the visitors raced into a commanding lead after just 32 minutes following goals from Chris Wood, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton.
No wonder Rodgers was disappointed with how lethargic Leicester started the game and how his side were not aggressive enough out of possession in the opening stages in particular. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall agreed - going as far as to say Newcastle looked like they 'wanted it more' - and the Leicester midfielder did not need telling after the game.
