3' Dubravka makes brilliant double-save
Leicester win an early corner that is whipped into the box by Maddison and Evans gets free at the near post to direct a powerful header at goal, but Dubravka is there to palm it away!
It's back to Evans, however, tries to head back across goal for Perez, but the goalkeeper is there again to punch clear!
25' CLOSE! Joelinton misses a great chance!
Joelinton is sent clean through by a long ball over the top of the defence and his initial shot deflects up and over the charging Schmeichel, leaving the striker with an empty net!
However, he gets his header all wrong and ends up heading back across goal rather than into the net! How has he not scored?!
36' GOAL! Newcastle 0-1 Leicester (Perez)
Lejeune passes the the ball across the back and straight to Perez, who cuts inside Schar far too easily before shooting through Fernandez's legs and into the far corner! It's 1-0 to Leicester!
39' GOAL! Newcastle 0-2 Leicester (Maddison)
Newcastle get caught trying to play out from the back again and Perez works it to Maddison on the edge of the box.
He cuts onto his weaker left foot but unleashes a powerful strike that flies into the top-right corner! What a strike! It's 2-0 to Leicester!
51' Newcastle down to 10 men as Schar injured after all subs used
Schar has gone down off the ball holding his hamstring after playing a pass.
Schar's race is run and he will have to go off, leaving Newcastle a man down for the rest of the half!
60' AGAIN! Dubravka makes brilliant double-save
Perez is played in behind by Tielemans, who produced a wonderful ball from deep.
The forward squares to Iheanacho on the right of the box and he smacks a shot at goal that Dubravka parries, before Perez's follow-up squirms through his legs but stays out and he then dives to save from a tight angle again as the Spaniard latches onto the loose ball!
87' GOAL! Newcastle 0-3 Leicester (Choudhury)
Gray works the ball back to Ndidi on the edge of the box and he lays it off for Choudhury.
The substitute strikes it first-time and guides an excellent effort in off the woodwork in the top-right corner! Dubravka had no chance with that! It's 3-0 to Leicester!
