Newcastle reaction should worry Leeds United and Arsenal as elite Eddie Howe is tough on players

Eddie Howe has warned there is still 'more to come' from Newcastle United after the Magpies moved up to second.

Newcastle leapfrogged champions Man City in the table following a 3-0 win against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Boxing Day. Goals from Chris Wood, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton put Newcastle in command with little more than half an hour on the clock as the visitors picked up from where they left off before the World Cup break.

Howe was delighted with Newcastle's start to the game, in particular, but the head coach was already analysing what his side could have done better immediately after the match. In the second half, for instance, Howe thought Newcastle could have controlled the game more with the ball - even though Leicester did not muster their first shot on target until the 82nd minute.
