Newcastle news: Fabian Schar speaks after win at Leicester

Defender Fabian Schar spoke to BBC Radio Newcastle after the Magpies’ 3-0 victory at Leicester on Monday: “We knew it wasn’t going to be easy. We were pretty ruthless with the goals in the first half and it was a good win for us.

“The attitude has been brilliant from the lads. It’s not easy to be focused after winning a trophy but we have done it really well. We know we can play better than we have in the last few games, but the results are perfect. Hopefully we can keep going like this.

“The table is very tight – each point can make a difference. It doesn’t matter who we play. Now we focus on Manchester United.”
