ISAK'S OFF BUT HAVING A SHIN STRAPPED
I guess he's going to keep going, and here he is.

ISAK CONTROLS WELL COMING IN TO CENTRE-FORWARD
But he loses possession then slides through Castagne who sprints past on the counter. He's booked and has also hurt himself. He doesn't look happy.
26'
NEWCASTLE KNOCK IT ABOUT
But when they try a telling pass, Faes reads it well and humps clear to no one.
24'
...BUT VARDY HEADS CLEAR AT THE NEAR POST
Again, Newcastle cannot create.
23'
ISAK BURROWS DOWN THE RIGHT
Eventually crossing a bouncing ball into Castagne, appealing for a penalty and accepting the corner. This time, Trippier will swing in...

ANDERSON WRIGGLES SPACE JUST OUTSIDE THE BOX
Opening his body to shoot, but the effort is far too close to Iversen and at a nice, catchable height.
22'
IN FAIRNESS TO LEICESTER
Newcastle have intimated danger but haven't really created anything.
20'
LEICESTER LOOK TERRIFIED TO TRY ANYTHING
They have a bit of possession, but when there's no obvious pass forward, Castagne turns around and sends it backwards.
18'

ALMIRON SKATES DOWN THE RIGHT
And has options but he's not interested, cutting inside and unfurling a curler that drifts a foot or two wide of the top far corner.
17'
THIS IS ONE-WAY TRAFFIC
Leicester can't get out, but they're not trying that hard to either.
16'
ISAK BEATS A COUPLE OF MEN
It's so hard to guess which way he's going and Castagne cannot, but his square pass is intercepted and Leicseter get the ball away.
15'
TRIPPIER SWINGS OUT
And Soutar heads clear, then Anderson punches a really clever pass in behind, but Wilson allows it under his boot. That was nicely done.
15'
NEWCASTLE ARE COMING
Almiron and Longstaff combine down the right, winning a corner; Newcastle are stretching the pitch well.
13'
GUIMARAES AND ISAK
Are players Newcastle have done very well to sign at this stage of things. They're proper blue-chip talents, and have elevated this side from workmanlike to the very good.
13'
ISAK IS LOOKING MENACING
Isak darts infield, playing off Guimaraes, but the return is intercepted.
12'
ALMIRON FINDS SPACE DOWN THE RIGHT
But Faes heads his cross away easily enough.
10'
I'M JUST SURPRISED
Casemiro wasn't sent off for that tackle.

GUIMARES LANDS STUDS ON SOUMARE'S KNEE
And scrapes them about a bit. I guess he doesn't smash through, it's more of a waft, but that's a red card as far as I understand the law ... however the ref says yellow.
8'
LONGSTAFF TRIES A GIVE AND GO
But Thomas does well to slide body across man, so Guimaraes' return, down the right of the box, runs safe.
7'
ANDERSON COLLECTS A PASSS FROM ISAK AND SLIDES A NICE RETURN BEHIND CASTAGNE
But Thomas clumps away the cross. The pattern of the game has been set.
5'
LEICESTER CLEAR AWAY TO VARDY, DOWN THE RIGHT
He sticks the ball into the space behind Botman ... but doesn't have that kind of gas anymore, so is easily seen off.
