Leicester moves up to third place with win at Newcastle
The HinduLeicester City moved up to third place in the Premier League as second-half goals by James Maddison and Youri Tielemans secured a 2-1 victory away at Newcastle United on Sunday. Manager Brendan Rodgers was livid when Jamie Vardy and Tielemans were guilty of over-elaborating once they had sliced open Newcastle shortly after, while Vardy also had a goal from a tight angle disallowed for offside. Leicester's slick attacking football was evident again for its second goal as Marc Albrighton slid an astute pass inside towards Tielemans, who did not even need a touch before burying the ball past a helpless Karl Darlow. Newcastle manager Steve Bruce sent on Carroll, and the big striker rewarded him almost immediately with a clinical volley -- his first league goal since returning to the club in 2019.
