Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Newcastle United FC kicks off things out of here…
2' Newcastle United FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jacob Murphy on 2.
7' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 7 minutes.
11' Jacob Murphy with the second goal in the match!
14' The referee calls foul for Wilfred Ndidi. He receives a card.
19' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
24' Victor Kristiansen needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
29' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Leicester City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
34' GOAL! Harvey Barnes scores on 34.
39' It looks surprising Leicester City FC does not make any changes. Conor Coady has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
44' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Leicester City FC that had 354 games and scored 510 goals.
46' Stephy Mavididi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Victor Kristiansen on 46 minute.
47' Leicester City FC player sees a card in front of him.
52' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
57' It looks like no one’s ball. Newcastle United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
62' Newcastle United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 62.
64' Time for substitution for Newcastle United FC. Joelinton is replaced by Lewis Miley.
65' Sean Longstaff has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bruno Guimaraes on 65 minute.
70' The travelling Newcastle United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
72' It is a substitution in Newcastle United FC team. Alexander Isak is replaced by Callum Wilson on 72 minute.
73' William Osula is replacing Jacob Murphy for the Newcastle United FC side.
74' Another substitution for Leicester City FC to replace James Justin by Ricardo Pereira on 74 minute.
79' Leicester City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
84' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jamie Vardy suffering a number of foals already.
87' Another substitution for Newcastle United FC to replace Kieran Trippier by Emil Krafth on 87 minute.
Another three points for Newcastle United FC.
