 Newcastle vs Leicester City

Newcastle 0-0 Leicester: Foxes denied late smash and grab after Nick Pope's vital stoppage time save. 

How the drama played out

CRAIG HOPE: For Newcastle, the guarantee of at least six matches in the gilded and glitzy surrounds of the Champions League. And Leicester, the lingering threat of 46 amid the muck and nettles of the Championship.

Oh how different those eventualities are - executive airline travel versus a National Express motorway slog. But these are clubs heading in opposite directions. To think, when Leicester were winning the Premier League in 2016, Newcastle were being relegated.

Here, though, was a result that perhaps suited both teams. Needing only a point to secure a top-four finish, Newcastle would have preferred to sign off with a victory at St James' Park, especially with third position still up for grabs.
