Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka admits there were crisis talks after defeat to Leicester City.

Newcastle fell to a fourth successive league defeat at St James' Park, the first time they have ever started a season with fourth straight home losses, after Leicester left Tyneside with a 2-0 victory on Saturday.

When asked if there had been some harsh words, Dubravka said: “Yeah.

“We need to be honest because we are not in a good position now.

“We need to change something because we all want to be successful."

He added: “We need to stick together, analyse and be honest with each other. We need to be honest over what we need to change because we do need to change something."
