Leicester City Set Unwanted Record
Leicester City Set Unwanted Record
For the first time in the 137-year history of English top-flight football
Once champions of England in their fairytale 2015-2016 season
Leicester City’s 3-0 home defeat to Newcastle United marked a dark and historic milestone in the club’s Premier League journey.
Van Nistelrooy’s Leicester Hit Rock Bottom
Appointed to turn things around, Ruud van Nistelrooy has faced nothing but setbacks since arriving at the King Power Stadium.
The Dutch manager inherited a struggling squad, and the results haven’t improved. In fact, they’ve worsened.
Leicester’s last Premier League win dates back to 26 January, when they shocked Tottenham with a 2-1 away victory.
Since then, they’ve lost every match they’ve played — eight defeats in a row.
Even more troubling, all eight games were at home, and Leicester failed to score in any of them.

The Eight-Game Goal Drought at Home:
vs Manchester United: 0-3
vs Brentford: 0-4
vs Arsenal: 0-2
vs Fulham: 0-2
vs Crystal Palace: 0-2
vs Manchester City: 0-2
vs Wolves: 0-3
- vs Newcastle United: 0-3
This shocking run sees Leicester become the first club in the English top division to fail to score in eight straight home matches — a record that underlines just how serious their problems are.
Defence in Disarray, Attack Non-Existent
It’s not just the attack that’s faltering — the defence has completely collapsed.
Conceding 21 goals in those eight home games, Leicester look vulnerable in every department.
Injuries, lack of confidence, and tactical confusion have all played a part in their dramatic fall from grace.
Despite changes in the starting XI and tactical tweaks from Van Nistelrooy, nothing seems to be working.
The once-proud King Power Stadium is now a place of frustration and disbelief.
Relegation Looking Inevitable
With just a handful of games remaining, Leicester sit deep in the relegation zone.
The club that lifted the Premier League trophy less than a decade ago now faces the very real possibility of playing Championship football next season.
Fans are losing faith, and the atmosphere at the King Power is tense.
Chants of disapproval echoed after the full-time whistle against Newcastle. Supporters want answers — and quickly.
The question remains: can Leicester pull off one of the greatest escapes in Premier League history, or is their fate sealed?
