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.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.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.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.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.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.
