Carabao Cup
The ambitious Newcastle also does not leave the pieces of the League Cup on its plate. Leicester City had hoped to emerge from oblivion with a strong run in the so-called Carabao Cup, but the quarter-finals are the final destination.
With Wout Faes, Timothy Castagne and Youri Tielemans, the Belgians were well represented in the base at Leicester. The hope at The Foxes was that after an end-of-year period with full focus on the competition (where it is third), Newcastle would slow down a bit. That was a vain hope.
For a long time, Leicester goalkeeper Ward was the great star, although he was also helped by his crossbar after a deviation from Castagne.
On the hour it was still a prize for Newcastle. Dan Burn finally turned one of many chances into a goal, his first for The Magpies.
After Joelinton’s 2-0, the ground completely sank under the feet of the Leicester players. Substitute Vardy was still close to a new spark, without success.
