Rate the Newcastle United players after Leicester City horror show

Where to start? Newcastle's shambolic performance in the 5-0 drubbing at Leicester City on Sunday has left fans fuming.

Steve Bruce's Magpies were already firmly on the back foot after Ricardo Pereira's opener before Isaac Hayden saw red for a strong challenge just before half-time.

Any hope of some brave second-half resistance evaporated quickly after the break when Jamie Vardy was twice afford too much space inside the box to score, either side of a Paul Dummett own goal.

That Wilfird Ndidi made it 5-0 just before the final whistle only rubbed salt into the already open wound.

As the players sheepishly made their way towards the away fans at the end, you could almost be forgiven for thinking it was United who had come away with the win, such was the noise the incredible travelling Toon Army were making.

It was a day when no one in black-and-white emerged with much credit, from Martin Dubravka failing to stop Vardy's near-post effort, a defence with alarming holes, and a forward line which didn't get into the opposing 18-yard box.

Here's your chance to vent your spleen and rate the players from yesterday's defeat. Does anyone deserve to escape your wrath?
