Jamie Vardy just can't stop scoring. The striker's clinical finish in first-half stoppage time has given his side the lead at St James Park and has seen him draw level with Ruud van Nistelrooy's goalscoring streak record.

GOOOAAALLL!!! Jamie Vardy has done it. There was a hint of offside about his run, but the cut inside the full-back and emphatic finish at the near post just oozed confidence. 1-0 Leicester.
43'
Leicester have been the better side here, but the early promise of goals has dried up (damn you commentator's curse).
41'
Ulloa heads over the bar from the resulting corner. He should have done better, but the signs are there that Leicester are warming up.

Vardy goes close to his goal, but sees a shot from an angle blocked by the leg of the keeper after his pace had seen him pull clear of the Newcastle back-four.

Maybe it's the cold weather, but there's a lack of spark in this game. Both teams make a complete hash of counter-attacks and the ball trickles harmlessly out of play.

Anita is shown a yellow for a poor challenge on Ulloa to halt a Leicester counter-attack.

Simpson nips in to steal the ball inside his own penalty area just as Mitrovic is about to pull the trigger. That's the most dangerous Newcastle have looked all afternoon.
34'
It has been a real struggle for Leicester to get the ball in to Vardy today. He's working his socks off as usual, but the midfield quality just isn't there. Maybe an extra man in midfield would have been the better option for the Foxes.

That yellow for Huth came moments after he'd clashed with Mitrovic, who has a famously short fuse. Odds on a red card today? Shortening by the second.

Huth is booked for a cynical challenge on Sissoko as Newcastle look to launch a break.

Vardy plays on the shoulder of the last man and tries to fire an opportunistic shot across the goalkeeper, but his effort is deflected behind for a corner.
28'
A Newcastle corner is whipped into the mixer and causes a bit of panic, but Leicester manage to scramble it clear.
