Leicester hold on for a 2-1 victory over Newcastle. It was Maddison that opened the scoring with a great first-time effort before Tielemans doubled the Foxes' lead with a powerful long-range strike. Newcastle pulled one back in the 88th minute, with Carroll netting for the first time since his return to the club, but they couldn't find an equaliser.
That win moves Leicester up into third in the table, just one point off league leaders Liverpool. Their attention will now turn to the FA Cup, as they travel to Stoke City next weekend. As for Newcastle, they drop to 15th, after results yesterday went against them. They're also in action in the FA Cup next time out when they visit Arsenal.
