Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers celebrates with Jamie Vardy and teammates after the match

Leicester City moved up to third place in the Premier League as second-half goals by James Maddison and Youri Tielemans secured a 2-1 victory away at Newcastle United on Sunday.

Substitute Andy Carrollโ€™s strike for the hosts set up a tense finale but Leicester were worthy winners.
They moved above Tottenham Hotspur with 32 points from 17 games played, one point behind co-leaders Liverpool and Manchester United, who have played one game less.
Maddison blasted Leicester in front in the 55th minute, and when the outstanding Tielemans produced a great finish to double the lead after 72 minutes it seemed that Leicesterโ€™s seventh away win in the league was in the bag.
Carrollโ€™s first Premier League goal for Newcastle for 10 years offered a late twist.
