In the latest round of the English Premier League, Leicester hosted Newcastle United at home. The game turned into a complete disaster for the Foxes, but two players still managed to etch their names in history.

Details: During the match, 15-year-old midfielder Jeremy Monga took to the field. He was born on July 10, 2009. Leicester's forward Jamie Vardy was born in January 1987. The age difference between them is 22 years and 180 days. According to Opta, this is the largest age gap between club teammates in Premier League match history.

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

Despite this historic moment, Leicester lost again and currently sits in 19th place in the table with 17 points after 31 rounds. The gap from the safe 17th place is 15 points with seven rounds remaining in the championship.

Reminder: Earlier, we reported that Leicester's head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy will soon be dismissed. The Foxes have lost eight consecutive home matches without scoring a single goal.
