    Emma Gregory: Wow, some half time team talk that was. Embarrassing to be a Newcastle fan. Please sell up Mr Ashley. I'll give you a tenner.

    Felix Thompson: Newcastle attempting to concede from every set -piece on the menu, Leicester have got their just deserts.

  5. YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:58 British Summer Time 2 May 2015

    Newcastle defender Mike Williamson booked for fouling Riyad Mahrez - the Magpies are all over the place.

    It's almost 4-0 as Esteban Cambiasso plays in Jeff Schlupp, who crosses to Marc Alrighton. The winger has provided two assists in a Premier League game for the first time today but this time he decides to go for glory himself and fires wide of the far post.

    As Robbie Savage said in his relegation piece on the BBC Sport website, Newcastle's main hope of staying up is for the teams below them to keep dropping points. Hard to see the Magpies themselves up.

    "I'm absolutely delighted for Nigel Pearson after he week he has had, it is a wonderful result. Say the game is finished, all over wonderful start again from Leicester City but you could say the goals have all come from Newcastle's own making."

    That really was terribly stupid by Emmanuel Riviere, although it's the kind of thing that usually doesn't get penalised. Zero goals in 20 Premier League appearances and now that - not the signing of the summer.

    Newcastle keeper Tim Krul goes the right way but Leonardo Ulloa's penalty is excellent and into the top corner. A rout.

  11. PENALTY TO LEICESTERpublished at 13:51 British Summer Time 2 May 2015

    The corner comes in and Emmanuel Riviere shoves Marcin Wasilewski in the back. Penalty!

    Although they do have a corner now...

    Leicester immediately get a free-kick but have already spent more than 38 seconds to take it. They were leading by this stage of the first half. Set-piece comes to nothing.

  14. KICK-OFFpublished at 13:49 British Summer Time 2 May 2015

    Second half under way - no changes for either side.

  15. Postpublished at 13:48 British Summer Time 2 May 2015

    Players are back out for the second half. Wonder how angry John Carver has been with his Newcastle players. Huge noise for the Foxes players after that first-half showing.

    Fikayo sobowale: Is it not obvious that Newcastle want to set a new record for consecutive losses in the Premier League.

    Adrian metcalf: If Newcastle go down Carver will have to go down as worst interim in history? Surely!

    Mark Fletcher: Toon fans were desperate to get Pardew out. They wouldn't be in this situation if he was still there! Careful what you wish for

    BBC Radio 5 live's Stuart Pearce at King Power Stadium

    "Leicester came out of the blocks and got after Newcastle. They got themselves in front and turned over another quick goal on 16 minutes.

    "Newcastle then came into the game and showed touches but they are lacking that real confidence to get hold of the game and they need to score quickly into the second half or the game will get away from them."

  19. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:33 British Summer Time 2 May 2015

    MOTD commentator Simon Brotherton at King Power Stadium

    "A standing ovation from the home crowd. It was a whirlwind start and Leicester led 2-0 with 17 minutes gone.

    "Newcastle were rocked back on their heels. They have at least settled into the game and seen more of the ball but haven't found a way back into the game yet. It was Leicester's half."

    BBC Radio 5 live's Stuart Pearce at King Power Stadium

    "The next goal is vital before half-time. Newcastle have had the better chances. On chances alone it has been five a piece but Newcastle have had the better opportunities. But they have failed to defend two set-pieces. If Newcastle can get one back before half-time it changes the dynamics in the stadium and the game."
