Guthrie ends Leicester run
Danny Guthrie fired Newcastle to the top of the Coca-Cola Championship as the depleted Magpies edged their way past Leicester 1-0.[LNB]Guthrie's 52nd-minute strike was enough to secure a fourth successive league win in front of owner Mike Ashley, prospective buyer Barry Moat and would-be manager Alan Shearer on a night when a New York-based consortium claimed they were ready to open talks over a deal.[LNB]Nile Ranger whistled a right-footed shot just wide from 25 yards within seconds of the second half, and the youngster played a part in the opening goal with 52 minutes gone.[LNB]Kevin Nolan laid off Harper's clearance to him and he fed Guthrie to step inside defender Jack Hobbs and smash the ball past Weale.[LNB]Geremi might have doubled his side's advantage within three minutes with a swerving drive which just evaded the bottom corner as Newcastle went for the kill.[LNB]Smith, Nolan and Joey Barton all went close to a second as Ranger repeatedly carved the City defence open, and despite a rousing finish from Leicester, their side saw out time to claim the points.
