Playing late in the 37th round of the Premier League, Newcastle played at home and had a superior force, so they completely overwhelmed the visiting team Leicester, who were desperate for points to stay in the league. Coach Eddie Howe's team quickly took control of the match, attacking massively and forcing the visiting team Leicester to play defensively on their own field.

In the rare occasion that strikers Alexander Isak, Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron played together in attack, Newcastle created 23 chances to attack the opponent's goal but luck continuously turned away from the home team. The crossbar and the goalpost were Leicester's companions many times in the match, not to mention goalkeeper Iversen had an extremely excellent day, frustrating the opponent many times.
Alexander Isak also could not get past Leicester's defense.
Drawing 0-0 with Leicester at home, Newcastle were still satisfied with 1 more point, officially entering the Top 4 of the Premier League because they were 4 points ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool and only had one round left. The "Magpies" also won a ticket to the Champions League for the first time since the 2003-2004 season after many years of hardship on the domestic field.

Also from the 0-0 draw with Newcastle, Leicester has a glimmer of a chance to stay in the league thanks to an additional valuable point. The "Foxes" currently have 31 points, temporarily surpassing Leeds United to take 18th place on the rankings thanks to a better goal difference despite the two sides being level on points. Both are still 2 points behind the safe zone and still have to rely on luck in the final match.

Liverpool will probably regret the draw with Aston Villa two days ago because they are now 4 points behind Newcastle, unable to close the gap with only one match left. The "Red Brigade" will likely finish the season in 5th place, just enough to qualify for next season's Europa League instead of the Champions League.

Even the faintest hope of surpassing Man United is unlikely to become a reality for the "down and out" army under coach Jurgen Klopp. The "Red Devils" have two more matches left to play and they only need to defeat two opponents who have lost their motivation to strive, Chelsea and Fulham, to successfully finish in the Top 3.
