Goals:

1-0: Ulloa (1, burst ahead of Sissoko to head home Albrighton’s corner at the front post)

2-0: Morgan (17, evaded a flat-footed Coloccini to prod home Albrighton’s left-wing free-kick)

3-0: Ulloa (pen, 48, drove spot-kick past Krul after Riviere barged over Wasilewski from a corner)

Bookings: Janmaat (16, foul), Gutierrez (28, foul), James (29, foul), Williamson (55, foul), Dummett (70, foul)

Sending Offs: Williamson (62, second yellow card, foul), Janmaat (90, second yellow card, foul)

Referee: Mike Dean (The Wirral) – Got the penalty and both of the dismissals absolutely spot on. Indeed, if anything, Williamson’s foul might even have been a straight red 7

NEWCASTLE (4-4-2):

6 Krul: Made two excellent second-half saves from Vardy and Ulloa to prevent Newcastle’s day becoming even more embarrassing

1 Janmaat: As an experienced international, his petulant last-minute dismissal was completely inexcusable

2 Coloccini: Displayed no leadership at all as Newcastle imploded and was directly at fault for Morgan’s goal

1 Williamson: Did he mean to get sent off as Carver suggested? Either way, his second-half dismissal was an absolute disgrace

3 Dummett: Struggled at left-back and arguably became even worse when he was shuffled inside to centre-half

5 Colback: The only outfield player excused by Carver and at least displayed a modicum of desire as others went missing

3 R Taylor: His loss of the ball from the kick off set the tone for the afternoon and his limitations were repeatedly apparent

3 Sissoko: Ducked out of the challenge that led to Ulloa scoring and continues to look nothing like the player he clearly thinks he is

3 Gutierrez: It almost seems churlish to criticise after all he has been through, but surely doesn’t merit as place in the side

3 Riviere: His air kick as he broke into the box in the first half was ridiculous, but his foul for the penalty was even worse

6 PEREZ: Was the only Newcastle player offering anything in the first 20 minutes and must be wishing he was back in Tenerife

 

Subs:

De Jong (for R Taylor, 58): Clearly isn’t at full fitness yet, and was unable to do much positive from a deep-lying midfield role 4

Anita (for Riviere, 64): Slotted in at left-back after Williamson’s dismissal, but was unable to prevent Leicester running riot down their right 4

Armstrong (for Perez, 75)

(not used): Woodman (gk), Abeid, Ameobi, Cabella.

 

Man Of The Match: JAMIE VARDY – Leonardo Ulloa might have scored twice, but it was Vardy’s desire, work rate and movement that repeatedly ripped the Newcastle defence apart.
