Perez is by far Newcastle's best player so far, winning a corner on the right this time.
12'
Perez turns past brilliantly after a long ball into the right-hand channel of the box but he's closed out well and Leicester have a goalkick.

Vardy volleys at goal as he races a long ball down the right channel first but his effort is straight at Krul.

Another chance for Ulloa, as he steers a low header into Krul's gloves.
5'
Newcastle have their first attack as Janmaat cuts inside and threads a ball into the right-hand side of the box for Perez, who shoots wide of the far post from a tight angle.
3'
The Argentinian striker was given far too much space to head home the first ball into the box of the whole game. The home fans are understandably thrilled.
