Yesterday, Leicester suffered a crushing 0-3 defeat to Newcastle, extending their winless home streak to 8 matches. During the game, head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy resorted to extreme measures.

Details: Realizing the result was beyond saving, van Nistelrooy decided to give 15-year-old winger Jeremy Monga his debut in the 74th minute.

This made Monga the youngest player in Leicester's history – 15 years and 271 days. In Premier League history, he is the second youngest, only behind Ethan Nwaneri.

Reminder: In the match against Leicester, Newcastle defender Fabian Schär nearly scored an incredible goal from his own half.
