Chris Sutton has sent a message to Newcastle United fans about Steve Bruce on Twitter following the win against Leicester City.

Newcastle have got the better of Leicester 4-2 away from home at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League this evening.

Callum Wilson scored twice for the Magpies, with Arsenal-owned midfielder Joe Willock also on the scoresheet.

Newcastle were actually 4-0 up at one stage, before Leicester scored twice and made it tricky for the Magpies in the final minutes of the encounter.

However, the Magpies eventually picked up all three points, and deservedly so, as the team virtually ensured that they would retain their Premier League status for one more season at least.

Former Chelsea and Celtic striker Sutton, who now works as a pundit for BBC Sport and BT Sport, was following the match, and he has urged the Newcastle fans who do not like Bruce to praise him for the performance tonight, reminding them of what he said about Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin.

Newcastle were brilliant going on the attack tonight, but the Magpies looked shaky at the back and conceded twice and could have shipped in more had Martin Dubravka not made some brilliant saves.
