It was a stroke of luck that Bruno Guimaraes was spared from Boubakary Soumaré's nasty challenge.
The Newcastle United midfielder escape a red card for his tackle on the midfielder of the Foxes player.
As they take on relegation-threatened Leicester City, Newcastle is aiming to secure a place in the Champions League for the next season.
There was a lot on the line, so tackles began to fly, and Guimaraes made without a doubt the worst one in the first eight minutes.
The midfielder struck Soumare directly with his foot, going studs up and high.
The Frenchman collapsed on the ground, obviously in pain.
Guimaraes received a yellow card from referee Andre Marriner and the Foxes were awarded a free kick.
After reviewing the event, VAR Darren England made the decision not to penalize the Magpies star any further.
