Leicester climbed to third place in the Premier League as goals from James Maddison and Youri Tielemans sealed a 2-1 win against Newcastle on Sunday.
Brendan Rodgers' side struck twice in the second half at St James' Park.
Andy Carroll reduced the deficit with his first goal for Newcastle in over 10 years, but it was too late to rescue a point.
Leicester were good value for their first win in three league games as they extended their unbeaten run to four matches.
The Foxes are one point behind leaders Liverpool, who face Southampton on Monday.
