Leicester 3 - Newcastle 0: Ulloa brace guides Foxes to vital win over Magpies
LEICESTER pulled four points clear of the Premier League relegation zone thanks to Leonardo Ulloa's brace in a 3-0 victory against free-falling Newcastle at the King Power Stadium.
Leonardo Ulloa secures vital three points for Leicester City
Ulloa headed home inside the first minute and, after Wes Morgan doubled the lead in the 17th minute, fired home emphatically from the penalty spot after Emmanuel Riviere tangled with Marcin Wasilewski in the 48th minute.
The Magpies' afternoon was compounded when Mike Williamson was sent off just after the hour for a second bookable offence before Daryl Janmaat was dismissed in added time.
Victory lifts Leicester, winners of five of their last six matches, to 16th, one point and two places behind Newcastle who have lost eight successive matches.
