    Into the last minute. Leicester have the ball in the corner. They haven't been brilliant for periods of tonight but they look like getting the job done...

    Tom Gregory: Horror movie: Nightmare on Filbert Street. Every time a Newcastle player opens a door or looks out of a window, Kante is there..

    Terrific energy from Danny Drinkwater, up over halfway and then some, one-two with Jamie Vardy, into the box, cross, Riyad Mahrez shoots - blocked!

    Claudio Ranieri comes out and waves his arms around, conducting the crowd. LIFT IT!

    Jonjo Shelvey off, Seydou Doumbia on for the finale for Newcastle. Get that ball in that box...

    Shelvey was poor tonight.

    "That was a ridiculous decision by Mitrovic! Why didn't he shoot?! Bizarre."

    Leicester 1-0 Newcastle

    Chance! Daryl Janmaat sends over a superb low cross, Aleksandar Mitrovic arrives on it but instead of shooting he passes the buck, a lay-off to Siem de Jong and his effort is blocked.

    Why didn't he hit that?!

    BBC Newcastle's NUFC summariser John Anderson: "If you don't work goalkeepers, you don't score goals. Newcastle have not created enough tonight."

  9. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 82 mins

    Leicester 1-0 Newcastle

    EIGHT MINUTES to go as Riyad Mahrez leads a counter but can't find his team-mates.

    I've just seen that Moussa Sissoko effort on 80 minutes, the ball hit Wes Morgan on the elbow - he had turned his back on the shot and it was travelling at a rate of knots.

    Andros Townsend beats Christian Fuchs and gets a cross over, Moussa Sissoko hits a shot well and well blocked by Robert Huth! He stood up to be counted there.

    "I just can't see Newcastle scoring. I can't see creativity, I can't see people getting behind Leicester or people getting into the box.

    "They'll probably score now..."

    Leicester 10 minutes away from a big win. Newcastle 10 minutes away from another damaging defeat.

    Is that a drawing of Rafa? Terrible!

    Claudio Ranieri just looks a touch anxious in the dugout as Newcastle continue to be a threat in the game. Bringing on another forward in Leo Ulloa was a brave move, but his first involvement is to make an excellent clearing header at the other end.

    Marc Albrighton skips away from his man and whips over another tester which Daryl Janmaat does well to clear. Newcastle counter and N'Golo Kante is there again. The sixth time he has won the ball back tonight.

    Andros Townsend could do his old club a huge favour today.

    Leicester remind me of Aston Villa ..... in 1981. Won the league with 14 players all season. Withe, Shaw, Morley, Cowans, Mortimer etc. Very happy for Leicester. Hurting badly for Villa now.

    Siem de Jong's Newcastle career to date has been about as successful as his brother's. But a goal tonight could be the turning point. Rafa Benitez wades out to the dead-ball line once more and bellows at his side.

    Riyad Mahrez snakes his way between the Newcastle midfield, he tees up sub Jeff Schlupp and his shot is blocked. Newcastle counter with real purpose, they have 20 minutes to snatch a goal and they are pushing on hard. 

    Ayoze Perez is off, Siem de Jong is on.

    Leicester 1-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle have had 55% of the play since half-time, they look a far better side. If you can take positives from defeat when you're in a relegation fight then it's tonight.
