Highlights

End of 2nd Half

FULL TIME! There goes the final whistle and you feel this is the night Newcastle secured Premier League football for next season.

They're not used to too many away wins, but they get it here when it really matters thanks to Ayoze Perez's header, the only strike of the match.

93'

Leicester City

SAVE! That could do it for Newcastle as Albrighton whips in a ball from the left and Maguire meets it at the far post, but Dubravka can dive onto it. Maguire may just hang up there with 90 seconds remaining.

90'

Can Leicester find a late leveller? Rondon has run himself into the ground for his side. Newcastle have to turn that loan into a permanent signing.

NO PENALTY! Ricardo's cross sees Manquillo have a little tug at Tielemans at the far post. That was a stupid thing to do and referee Chris Kavanagh could easily have given a penalty for that!

We're into five added minutes.

85'

Leicester City

SHOT! Kelechi Iheanacho hasn't seen much of the ball since coming on, but his snap shot here lacks the necessary power to overly exert Dubravka, who dives onto the ball.

82'

Newcastle United

SUB! Newcaslte now look to eat vital seconds away at the coock as Ki is replaced by Diame in the midfield engine room.

It's just happened for Leicester tonight with Chilwell and Ricardo both struggling to offer much on the wings this half.

SUB! Leicester immediately make their third and final change as Marc Albrighton comes on in places of Banres to a warm reception.

80'

Leicester City

CHANCE! This is Leicester's best chance of the night as Tielemans threads a gorgeous ball into the path of Vardy, and without looking up he shoots towards goal but he can only scoop his effort over Dubravka's crossbar!

78'

SUB! Newcastle make their first change as Christian Atsu replaces Almiron.

BOOKED! It's been a lively few minutes as Leicester immediately won a free-kick following the Perez chance and Manquillo is the latest Newcastle to go into the book.

77'

Newcastle United

CHANCE! Glorious chance for Ayoze Perez to kill the game off for Newcastle as he somehow wriggles free down the right, but Schmeichel is quickly off his line to smother his shot from an acute angle!

The Spaniard escaped Chilwell with a lovely drag, but he just didn't have the final bit of composure to finish.

76'

Leicester City

OVER! It's just not been Maddison's night as he overthinks this, bending his right-footed shot high and wide of Dubravka's goal. He's not been tested at all yet by this Leicester attack.

75'

BOOKED! The noise level rises as Leicester now win a free-kick in a very good position and Schar is cautioned for a high boot on Maguire. What can Maddison do with this, 25 yards out...

73'

It's taken 73 minutes for Leicester to have their first corner of the match, and Maddison's delivery is headed down into the danger zone by Maguire but Lascelles clears.

71'

SUBS! With 19 minutes remaining, Rodgers decides to make a double change as Mendy and Iheanacho replace Gray and Ndidi.

68'

BOOKED! Kasper Schmiechel dashes out of his goal to make a point to the officials but it's too vociferous for Chris Kavanagh's liking, and he is shown a yellow card.

Perhaps it is because Ritchie is down receiving treatment, and he senses a bit of early time-wasting.

65'

Leicester City

Maddison gets his free-kick all wrong, drawing ironic cheers from the Newcastle supporters. He's been so inventive for Leicester this season, but not tonight so far.

63'

Newcastle United

BOOKED! Ki joins Tielemans in the book after halting the run of Maddison after a lovely turn. He knew what he was doing there.

Leicester City

CLOSE! Leicester come within a whisker of levelling as after Maddison is fed down the left by Barnes, his cross is just too high for Vardy in the six-yard box!

58'

Newcastle United

SHOT! The game is now perfectly set up for Newcastle on the counter with the pace of Perez and Almiron, and it's the latter who sees his shot fly over the bar. He's yet to get off the mark since his big-money move but it's not dented his confidence.

55'

Newcastle United

CHANCE! Newcastle come close once more as this time, Rondon pulls wide to the left and his cross is scuffed into the ground by Perez before the Venezuelan picks out Ritchie moments later but his shot is well blocked by Ricardo.

Fabian Schar has taken a bang to the back having landed awkwardly from an aerial challenge with Maddison, but after a slight pause, he's going to be OK to come back on.The last thing Newcastle need is another injury.

Newcastle United

Ritchie and Almiron look like they are developing a really good understanding down the left and it's the sprightly winger who again forces Morgan into drastic action to deflect his cross behind for a corner.
