JOB done for Leicester. It’s fair to say they enjoy the League Cup. They lifted it twice in four years during the Silver Age of Martin O’Neil. 

They also reached the semi-finals in the most recent two seasons, on both occasions only losing on penalties to eventual winners and trophy hoovers Manchester City. 

At St James’ Park on Wednesday night it was their turn to win the spot-kick lottery as they navigated a tricky away tie against Premier League-side Newcastle.
