Chapter 1: How did Leicester achieve their biggest Premier League win?
Leicester into third after biggest ever Premier League win, and it was Ricciardo who got the ball rolling with that individual effort in the first half. Two for Jamie Vardy in the second to put this game well beyond Newcastle's reach. Now 14 in 17 games for him under Brendan Rodgers. Let's hear from Vardy and Ricciardo with Patrick Davison.
Guys, well done, Jamie. The minute the guy next to you got that first goal, did you scent blood?
Yeah, we knew it was going to be a difficult game, and like I said, we thought that the first goal was going to be all important, and as soon as we got that, we just wanted to keep that momentum going, keep pressing, and we've come away with a very good victory.
Ricardo, all year without a goal, and now two.
Yeah, that's what I try to do. My first job is to defend, then if I have the opportunity to go forward and help the team, better.
Just tell us what you saw then, because it was a quick 1-2 with Perez, and then it just seemed to open up for you.
Yeah, it opened, I saw the space, Jamie did the movement and struck one of the defenders, and then I tried my luck and I scored, fortunately.

Chapter 2: What impact did Jamie Vardy's performance have on the game?
Jamie, credit to you for that little run that just took, I think, LaSalle's away.
Yeah, I think I'd have been offside if he'd have passed it, but no, obviously delighted for him. Weaker foot as well, and he's slotted it in the bottom corner.
Portugal, I think, as Brendan Rodgers said, Portugal must have some good right-backs for him not to be in the squad, mustn't they?
Yes, 100 per cent. You've seen what he's like, consistently good, and he's only going to get better. Everyone, as soon as we work on that training field, making sure we're implementing the gaffer's plans, you can see with performances like that what we've been up to.
A clean sheet, important for you as a right-back first and foremost, Ricardo?
Yes, it's important in this type of game. If we don't concede, we have more chances to win.
Jamie, two goals for you today, both a little bit old-school Leicester, weren't they? One quite direct and the second from an Albrighton cross.
Yeah, we've got lots of different ways we can score. Everyone's obviously seen that we used to be really counter-attacking, but now we've got different dimensions to his attack, and that's what you've seen today with the goals.
Why do you think it works so well between you and Brendan Rodgers? I think when he first came in, people wondered, with a guy who's made his name on a lot of counter-attacking goals and a possession-based coach, how would that work? But it's worked perfectly. Why?

Chapter 3: How did Leicester capitalize on Newcastle's red card?
You know, they go to Liverpool next week, play in that stadium the way it is right now. It was very, very difficult. Arguably the most difficult place to go and get results. So ask me where they are next week after that game.
I might have to before next week, Graeme, because we've got 20 minutes of talking to do. We heard from Ricardo. He said it opened up for him and Jamie Vardy helped in that process as well.
It was made very easy. A nice one to Ricardo with Ayas Perez here. You know, just gets there, nicks it. Now he's got one eye, what's going to open up for me? And then he just can't believe his luck because the two centre-halves have crossed here. We'll stop it briefly. He's going for a goal now. Now, for Lascelles, you know, why are you crossing over there? Pass him on. Pass him on. Char's free.
So now we're on. He's made his mind up for him. He's now got a shot at goal. Lascelles must see... When you're a defender, you deal with the priority. The priority is Ricciardo. If I go and empty the middle of the pitch, he's going to have a free run at goal. He's just got his decision-making all wrong. Centre-half should never cross over in that situation.
You should be speaking to each other all the time and passing Vardy on. And that was made very easy for him. But you have to say that Ricciardo, when he gets there, under pressure, ultimately under pressure, gets a great shot off.

Chapter 4: What did the players say about their performance after the match?
Yes, a really good finish from him and still only one goal in it through the rest of that first half. So how costly is that red card?
Yeah, I think it's borne out of frustration. Hayden's an aggressive boy. Does he need to make the tackle? No, he could stay on his feet or be lesser. He takes off, he leaves the ground, he endangers the opposition player look. and it ends up being a straight legger, and that breaks legs. I mean, there's no excuse for that.
There hasn't been a nasty moment in the game, and I think it's just borne out of frustration.
So give us an idea, Graham, if you're a manager in that situation and Steve Roos is doing all he can to find a result from somewhere, they're only one down, on the verge of half-time, he's going to have a chance to get them going again at the break, and then he loses a man.
Yes. You get frustrated. The way it is now, you can't give him a volley when he gets in and tell him how stupid he is. That'll be for another time. His concentration at half-time is about coming up with a system that keeps him in the game and maybe nicks something, but he didn't today. It didn't work for him. But that would be... The number one emotion you have is complete frustration.
Because you know deep down at that time, no, it's not impossible to get anything from this game. So Steve Bruce would be angry at the time, frustrated. There's not a lot he can do about it at that particular time. He's got to address that later and ask him, you know, what were you thinking of? Because it hadn't been a nasty game. It hadn't been a bad challenge in the game. It was a...
It was not a testimonial, but it was an easy game for Leicester.
Did it feel like a procession in the second half?
Yeah. I think I remarked after 85 minutes the first time Newcastle had any possession down this end. I think Longstaff could have maybe thrown a leg at that.

Chapter 5: What were the key mistakes made by Newcastle during the match?
This is a nice ball, but a reverse ball. Now it's a race. And when it gets to you thinking, square it, you're not going to score from there. But the goalkeeper should never, ever get beaten on the near post.
There was a VAR check and he was deemed just onside. Yeah, lovely ball. Tell me again about the goalkeeper here.
He should never get beat. I mean, that's... That just cannot happen. That just cannot happen. Maybe a yard to his right shouldn't happen. So that's 2-0. Don't get beat on the near post.
Three minutes, eight seconds later.
It just all became too easy. There were spaces all over the place here. I think that's Dummett goes for a game. Aggressive, maybe another day if that doesn't develop.
That's Dummett.
That's Dummett, the one who gets the final touch. It's Schaaf. Sorry, is it Schaaf? Here? Yeah. See? But he's brave enough to go for the ball and he ends up scoring the goal. But with a large deflection, I'm not sure if he can claim that.
No, it has officially gone down as a Dummett own goal. What about Jamie Vardy then?

Chapter 6: How does Leicester's current team compare to their title-winning squad?
We saw him scoring at the near post and then, as Patrick was saying, the old Leicester City goal. The ball from Brighton here, picking out Jamie Vardy.
When you say the old Leicester City goal, this is a delightful cross from all Brighton on the move. I mean... It was a combination we saw a lot in the winning season. You could have scored that. He gets his head up. It's not just a cross for anybody. He's picked him out. When he checks inside Albrighton, he gets his head up and he sees him free. And this is just a compound.
A really cap performance from Ndidi.
It was all too easy. What did you make of him today over 90 minutes? Fabulous. Fabulous. Chilwell throws this in. A misheader from Johnny Evans. But he's got too much time, hasn't he? You've got to get tighter than that. 5-0, your head's down, you're frustrated, you know you're getting nothing from the game. You've got to get tighter than that. You've got to defend your box at all times.
It's too easy for him. But to answer your question, he was fabulous throughout.
indeed he won the ball back for them when he got on it very early gave it away aggressive enough without it didn't go to ground at any time stayed on his feet which is always a good sign because that means he's reading things if he can stay on his feet and win the ball totally in control but I come back to yeah Leicester be very pleased with themselves tonight no game is easy in this Premier League but that after 15 minutes
became a very easy game for them. No game is easy in the beginning, but it can develop into an easy game. And that's as easy a game as Leicester will have all season the way it develops.
Over the last couple of seasons, we have heard from Jamal Lascelles, who's come out in difficult situations for Newcastle and fronted up.

Chapter 7: What were the managerial insights shared after the match?
We've asked him to do so again. Here he is with Patrick Davison. Jamal, difficult day, of course.
As captain, what did you make of the performance? Terrible from the boys. It's no one's fault to blame but ourselves. OK, we went a man down, but we've still got ten men on the pitch and after that leaking in four goals is not good enough. It's just not acceptable. We really do need to look ourselves in the mirror because I don't think I've been here before where we've conceded five goals.
It doesn't matter about tactics, it doesn't matter about how well we pass the ball. You've got to flip in, at least make it hard for them, even with a man less, you can do it. Teams have been doing it all through the season. It's not good enough for us.
You said terrible, actually. In what way? What really upset you about that?
Just the way he was conceding the goals. It's never happened. I don't know. I mean, the boys do care. Obviously, having a man down, of course, is a disadvantage. But, like I said, you can still roll your sleeves up and just get into a shape where they don't score any more. And, you know, we didn't do that. So, you know, we really do need to look at ourselves because it was good enough.
It sounds like, in your view, this is more down to the players than the manager.
Yeah, of course. It doesn't matter what manager you have. Like I said, it's always going to be hard with 10 men, but no matter what manager you have, you need to have a bit of pride in yourself and a bit of heart in yourself and make sure you win your flipping duels and your battles and don't get one-twoed and stay with a runner and just the little simple things that you're taught.
And we didn't do that. So, you know, it's not good enough.

Chapter 8: What does the future hold for Newcastle following this defeat?
From what you're saying, it's almost like there was a bit of giving up that went on out there.
You know, I don't want to say that we'll give up, but We really need to sit down and look back at that because it's not acceptable.
Is it a long way back? Is it starting to look like a really long, hard season?
No, not at all. Of course, we'll kick ourselves about this game, but the gaffer won't let us have our heads down too much and it won't have an effect on other games. I suppose we let today go. Of course, we looked back on it, but at the same time, it won't affect us.
What's he said, the manager?
That's between the manager and the players. OK, thank you.
Thank you. We'll ask him in a couple of minutes' time. It is the first time we've conceded five or more in the league for three and a half years, but what do you make of that, Graham?
Yeah, he did well there because it's not about the manager. You're asking your players to take responsibility. You know, they... No-one wants to go out and play like that and make the basic mistakes they made. No-one... When you're in a tunnel, you're not thinking, I'm going to make any of those mistakes. And they were just... I suppose... 15 minutes, we're in the game, we're doing okay.
And the danger is when you're fragile, as they are right now, when you concede a goal, some heads will go down. And I think that is the top and bottom of it. And then at this level, if your concentration levels are not bang on, you will concede daft fouls, you will concede goals
