Jacob Murphy's two goals were enough to see him chosen as the supporters' Player of the Match against Leicester City, winning 71% of the vote across newcastleunited.com and the Official Newcastle United App.

Murphy has been in fantastic form this season. In the last four months, only Mohammed Salah and our own Alexander Isak have more goal contributions than Murphy's 14.

On Monday night it was a convincing victory for the Magpies, after Murphy scored twice in the first 15 minutes to put Newcastle United two-nil up.

Tino Livramento, who collected 23% of the vote, provided the assist for Murphy's first, while Harvey Barnes netted against his former club to register his sixth goal of the season and put Newcastle three-nil up ten minutes before half-time.

At the back, Fabian Schär was faultless once again as Newcastle kept their second clean sheet in three Premier League matches. But, it was his audacious effort from over 50 yards out that set up Newcastle's second, as it crashed into the bar before falling at the feet of Murphy, who was the only player alert to the rebound.
