Newcastle player ratings in loss v Leicester: Speed machine shines with 7/10 display:
Matt Ritchie – 5
Back to his natural right wing role after a failed experiment at left wing back last weekend, Ritchie was the chosen one to try and instil some creativity up front.
He was more industrious than full of flair in the first half, forced to drop back and support Yedlin on the right flank as Leicester commanded possession.
However he had very little impact as the game wore on, and found himself switched out for the returning Christian Atsu in the second half.
