Toon walk away with only a point

Newcastle Travelled to The Walker stadium on Saturday with the away end packed out and in good voice.
Nolberto Solano made his comeback to English football for Leicester in the final 10 minutes to a chorus of chants from the away section. Newcastle were poor in the first half with a lack of any penetration while Leicester sprayed the ball around the pitch. They looked the more likely team in a poor first half but still found it difficult to break us down. Harper however kept us in the game with a fine save and after the half hour Leicester were down to 10 men after Wellens was off for a second yellow. Mackem Waghorn was given a lovely reception from the Geordie's and he in turn appreciated this but failed in any attempt to send us home without anything from the game. The game turned in the second half with Newcastle actually coming out to play. We forced the ball into the back of the net late on only for it to be ruled offside by the linesman.

The game ended 0-0 and which was probably a fair result but we stay top on 56 pts
now 4 ahead of Forest (and one game in hand) who lost to bitter rivals Derby County 1-0 at the county Ground, while West brom keep the pressure on by collecting all three points.
