Description

Newcastle suffered an eighth consecutive Premier League loss and ended up with nine men in defeat against relegation rivals Leicester.
Leonardo Ulloa headed the Foxes ahead after 38 seconds and it was 2-0 within 17 minutes as Wes Morgan poked home.
The visitors sealed the game early in the second half when Ulloa scored a penalty after Emmanuel Riviere shoved Marcin Wasilewski.
United had Mike Williamson and Daryl Janmaat sent off in separate incidents.
Both managers were in the headlines before the game for off-field arguments.
Leicester boss Nigel Pearson called a journalist an "ostrich", "stupid" and "daft" during a bizarre post-match news conference following Wednesday's defeat by Chelsea.
His opposite number, John Carver, asked his club for protection from their own fans and then invited two supporters around for a "cup of tea" after a heated exchange.
But there is no comparison between the two on current form.
Leicester were seven points adrift of safety at the start of April, but have now won five of their last six to move a point clear of the bottom three.
