Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka has told the Chronicle that the support Rafael Benitez’s side got at the weekend was ‘amazing’.

Newcastle were backed by a 52,000 strong crowd against Leicester City, but their performance on the pitch did not match the noise in the stands.

Newcastle were in poor form, as they slipped to a 2-0 defeat to Leicester.

During the contest, Magpies fans even booed one of the substitutions that Benitez made, when he took off Matt Ritchie in the second half.

But Dubvraka insists that the Newcastle supporters’ backing was superb.

He said: “It’s amazing and we feel much worse because we want to give them everything.

“When we play at home they expect something special but unfortunately we lost the game for them.”

Newcastle were undone against Leicester, with Claude Puel’s side scoring through Jamie Vardy and Harry Maguire.

The Magpies are still looking for their first win of the Premier League season, with Benitez’s men really struggling.

Fears are rising that Newcastle could be dragged into a relegation battle, with their next match coming against Manchester United.
