Leicester City captain Wes Morgan has admitted that his side needed a stroke of luck in order to defeat Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon.
Joselu opened the scoring on the day to give Newcastle the lead though the Foxes managed to gain the lead through goals from Riyadh Mahrez and Demarai Gray.
After Dwight Gayle scored an equalizer, the game looked headed for a draw.
However Ayoze Perez scored an own goal in the 86th minute and this meant that Rafa Benitez’s side’s woes continue while it means that the Foxes have now won three games in succession.
“We had lot of possession and a lot of shots on goal. We could have got more in the first half. It was a good game and to get the goal at the end was fortunate but overall we deserved it,” Morgan told BT Sport.
“We expect better of ourselves. It took us 10 or 15 minutes to get into the game. It is something we will look at on the training field.
“We had a tough start. No one gave us credit for the tough start. We didn’t start well and since we have started to improve and look much better. Once you pick up a few wins it builds momentum.”
