Newcastle 0-0 Leicester

at St James’ Park

NEWCASTLE UNITED booked their place in the Champions League for the first time in 20 years after a 0-0 draw against relegation-bound Leicester City at St James’ Park.

It was a strange evening, and a meeting of two clubs who are in a way swapping places. Newcastle, after years of battling at the bottom, are looking up.

Leicester, though, are rooted in the bottom three with one game remaining, just seven years after that remarkable Premier League title win.
