Newcastle United stormed to a superb away day win at Leicester City on Boxing Day to maintain their push for a Champions League place.
Goals from Chris Wood (penalty), Miguel Almiron and Joelinton effectively had the game wrapped up by the 32-minute mark. And despite Leicester rallying a little after the break they never looked any danger of a very unlikely comeback.
Here are the overall ratings from the terrific away win for Newcastle.

Nick Pope 8
Another clean sheet as he made some routine saves. Never really looked in any trouble.
Kieran Trippier 9
A thorn in the side of Leicester. Played a big part in Miguel Almiron's goal and provided a wonderful assist from the corner for Joelinton's header.
Fabian Schar 8
Pretty flawless from the Switzerland star. Works so well with Botman.
Sven Botman 9
Absolutely bossing it. One swept clear off the line and refused to give Leicester an inch. A Dutch defensive masterclass.
Dan Burn 8
Let very little go past him. Made an important block in second half. Another good show.
Sean Longstaff 8
Heavily involved at both ends. A good shift.
Joe Willock 8
Offered plenty in the middle. Unable to keep Premier League goal run going.
Bruno Guimaraes 10
An assist and some magnificent passing. A truly class act. Man of the match.
Joelinton 10
Won the penalty for Wood and powered home the third goal. A strong showing.
Miguel Almiron 9
Has picked up where he left off in the Premier League. Confident finish after super one-two with Bruno. Always a threat.
Chris Wood 8
Made no mistake from the spot. Led the line well in Wilson's absence.
Subs
Allan Saint-Maximin (for Almiron 83)
Jacob Murphy (for Willock 83)
Matt Ritchie (for Wood 89)
Elliot Anderson (for Longstaff 90)
