Another night of Premier League action over.

We'll be back tomorrow when Arsenal take on Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Should be a cracker, see you then!

Newcastle move up to fifth in the Premier League with that victory, leapfrogging Manchester City to go level on points with Chelsea.

Leicester remain in the relegation zone.

Leicester City

Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Very difficult especially after 33 minutes, we lost another game starting with the best intentions. We lost another early goal. It's very disappointing and worrying.

"It's a big challenge. We all know the run of form we're in. It's extremely difficult. Especially if there aren't light points to build on.

"The most difficult thing is we are in a place for such a long time and there are no results. The most important thing is the club and to bring it forward. That's the worrying part.

On Jeremy Monga: "You could see glimpses of his great qualities. He's a great winger and has speed. He's a fantastic talent, a great boy. He deserved these minutes and hopefully, more to come.

"It's clear and we've been saying that. We want to show what we're about and show our qualities but we aren't able to.

"I want the club to do well. The club is first and that is something to consider. It is hard because I came to the club to help it forward but it is clear there haven't been enough results to get points on the board and that's not good enough."

Leicester City

Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy speaking to Sky Sports: "It's clear where it went wrong very early in the game again."

On if goals were avoidable: "If we look at the three goals carefully we could have done better in all three. Newcastle are deadly on counter attack and finished the game very quickly."

On worrying stats: "What is worrying is the run of form, the lack of goals, the lack of results we can't produce. Trying different things, different structures, different players in different positions and the results are not there."

On not changing his starting XI again: "Looking over the last month we tried different things and different ways to play with different personnel. You want to give that a chance. That's what we tried to do. If you keep changing every week you can't see that progress but it's very worrying."

On not scoring for eight successive home games: "It shows. It's a confidence thing. In the second half you can see when there is no pressure anymore it frees people up. Then you see some reasonable football. When the pressure is on it becomes very difficult. With an early couple of goals it collapses."

On if he still has the fight to continue at Leicester: "This is a difficult night. It's important to analyse this and sleep on it and recover. That is it for now. There are no questions, but it's dealing with another setback for now that's what I can say."

Newcastle United

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, speaking to Sky Sports: "I think we're in a good place. Today was always going to be difficult for us but we started the game so strongly and put ourselves in a good position. We're playing with confidence but we're going to need it because the next three games are tough.

"If you can start fast and score the first goal then it can influence the game. The first goal was high quality.

On Jacob Murphy: "He's up there for him. He's played well all season for us. He's always been a great team player for us with work ethic but this season he's added goals. I'm really pleased for him that he's getting more recognition.

On Fabian Schar's shot: "He brings a flair that not many centre-backs can bring. It's another Fabian moment. For a split second, I thought it was in. There are not many centre-backs in football that can do what he can do.

"There was a worry when we won the cup that we'd drop. Just a subconscious feeling that you've achieved a massive high and there's a fall from that. The challenge for the group was can you go again and they've done that well.

On reaching the top four: "It will mean a great deal to us. It's difficult to think too far ahead and think of the implications. We need to do our job and that is to win games.

On Alexander Isak's fitness: "I think he's 100% fit, I wouldn't have taken any risk with him tonight if he wasn't. I don't think we'll have to manage him."

We're still waiting to hear from Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy.

What are your thoughts Leicester fans? Should the Foxes part ways with him?

Hit the thumbs. Up for yes, down for no.

Newcastle United

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe speaking to BBC Sport: "Really pleased. A massive win for us. We knew it wasn't going to be easy. We started really well and that gave us the foundation to go and win.

"It was a bright start. The first goal was a real highlight for us in terms of quality. When you start the game in that fashion it makes it easier for you. Leicester were competitive but I wanted us to add more goals."

On Fabian Schar's long-range effort hitting the woodwork: "It's another Fabian moment. He's capable of these things and he has delivered again. For a second I thought it was in. Jacob did really well to follow up and get the tap-in."

On the team keeping their focus after winning silverware: "That was the biggest challenge for us. I can't complement them enough. They are a very down to earth, humble group who want to do well and represent the club in the right way. They have shown that in the last few weeks."

On how he sees the race for Champions League football: "It's going to hot up. The next week for us is a big week. We have three really tough games and that will go a long way in seeing where we are at the end of the season. We are in a better position than we were but there is still a lot of work to do."

Newcastle United

Jacob Murphy speaking to Sky Sports: "I think the message going into it was to get a quick start. Knowing that if we got a quick start 'could their fans turn on them?' That plays into our hands. We got off to a quick start with some goals which was good.

On his first goal: "We always talk about box occupation, can we flood the box. You can see how many players we had in the box and it makes it difficult to defend. I saw it really late but got my foot on it."

On his second goal: "It was a bit scary when it came back because I wasn't sure about first time finish or to control it. By the time I controlled it about seven times I managed to sort my feet out and score!"

On form: "I'm exactly where I need to be, at the back post tapping it in. It's always nice to hear numbers, to score, I love assisting. If I can add value every game then regardless of the numbers I'll always be content."

On buzz at Newcastle: "It's been unbelievable. The bus tour was out of this world, such a great day. You can see why the greats get addicted to winning trophies, the feeling it gives you. Now we're back training, you want that again next season. We want to keep striving for better and taste it again."

On Champions League qualification: "It's hugely important for us. We can see other English teams doing really well, we've had a taste of it last season. We've got eight games to go now, no other distractions. I think we can really put a challenge up to the teams around us, one game it can all change so we need to keep the pressure on."

Leicester City are not only the first Premier League side to lose eight successive home league games without scoring but also the first side in the top four tiers of English football.

Leicester City

Leicester defender James Justin speaking to Premier League Productions: "It's hard to describe, to be honest, with how it's been and it makes us feel awful right at the moment. You feel disconnection and disappointment when you step off the pitch. All we can do is give our all for the shirt. It's not been good enough for a couple of months now.

"It's hard to find confidence. I don't know how many games it's been since we last picked up a point. It's a horrible moment for the club with how we're playing on the pitch and trying to regain any confidence. There were bright spells from the lads who came off the bench and that's the one positive to take.

"There is still a chance for us and we have to fight and claw for it but we aren't showing it on the pitch."

Newcastle United have won eight of their 16 Premier League away games this season (D3 L5), only winning more in a Premier League campaign in 1993-94 and 2001-02 (both 9).

Newcastle United

Newcastle goalscorer Harvey Barnes speaking to Sky Sports: "We are going into games at the minute feeling confident we are going to win. That is the mindset we need for the rest of the season. We have a lot to play for and need to keep this run going."

On what it would mean to qualify for the Champions League after winning the Carabao Cup: "Huge. That was one of our main aims this season to win silverware which we have done. We made it clear after that we need to reset. There is a lot to play for and we have started that period really well with two wins. We don't want the season now to finish on a downer. We are fully focused."

On scoring three first-half goals: "The early game gave the team a boost but the team will look back and we weren't at our fluid best tonight."

On laying down a marker for European places: "We know we are in a good position in the table. All we can do is our job and win our games and we will finish in the top four or five. If we win the games the teams will be chasing us and not us chasing them."

Surely a question of when and not if Leicester City's time in the Premier League comes to end now.

Where does this leave manager Ruud van Nistelrooy?

Great night for Newcastle. A really sad one for my old team.

That will be that.

Newcastle edge closer to Champions League football.

Leicester edge closer to relegation and extend their winless run without scoring at home to eight matches.

Nice ball fizzed across the box by Emil Krafth but there's no one in the box to tap home.

It stays in play on the far side and eventually comes back to Sandro Tonali, whose shot drags wide.

Newcastle get on the break and Harvey Barnes plays it out wide to Callum Wilson, who cuts it back again for Barnes but Wout Faes is there to clear the danger.

He did well there, it could've gone anywhere.

It was just such an awful start to the game from Leicester. They never really gave themselves a chance of getting into this game.
