The scene in the King Power Stadium tunnel when Newcastle United played Leicester City

Newcastle United fans have been given a behind the scenes look at just what happened in the players' tunnel following the Magpies' humiliating defeat at Leicester City on Sunday.

The Foxes are one of a number of Premier League clubs who subtly position a camera inside the tunnel to give supporters an insight into what goes on pre-match, at half-time and full-time at the King Power Stadium. The finished product is then published on YouTube .

Lining up in single file in the tunnel before the 5-0 defeat Martin Dubravka shook hands with opposite number Kasper Schmeichel while Paul Dummett , Miguel Almiron and Yoshinori Muto had a quick word with former team-mate Ayoze Perez .

As the teams waited to walk out onto the pitch, Kasabian hit Club Foot crackled out of the PA system but the players can still clearly hear the away end belting out 'Who's that team we call United?' Dubravka then roars, 'C'mon guys, let's go!' as they walk out.

We all know what happened next but even when their team were 4-0 down, with nearly half an hour still to play, Newcastle supporters continued to sing the chant on repeat, which fittingly ends with the line: 'We'll support your ever more'.

There was still time for Wilfried Ndidi to add a fifth at the death before referee Craig Pawson blew the whistle for full-time. Skipper Jamaal Lascelles was among those who apologetically held his hands up to supporters before walking off and catching up with Wes Morgan in the tunnel.

Leicester's camera captures Steve Bruce and his staff's walk back to the away dressing room with the Newcastle head coach's rain-soaked players not saying a word as they made their way back in single file. Bruce went on to deliver a brutal dressing down.

Somehow, the Magpies have to regroup ahead of the visit of Manchester United, who are without an away win in the league since February.
