Dancing on Ice's Brian McFadden and Vogue Williams ended their marriage after three years

he corrugated iron roof in the old main stand rattled – and felt like it would come off - as Newport County knocked Leicester City out of the FA Cup.

This was a classic Third Round tie. A tie to remember; a tie that resonated like that stand. Newport, 13th in League Two, 74 places below their Premier League opponents, were brave, bold and brilliant and went through with a dramatic late penalty.

It was a result that piled the pressure on Claude Puel who again made wholesale changes, seven in all to his starting line-up – and did not even include Jamie Vardy in his squad – and crashed out of another cup competition. The Leicester manager came in for criticism after fielding a weakened team against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup quarter-final and while that was frustrating this was embarrassing.

This was only Newport’s second win in nine matches and was richly deserved as they took the game to their vaunted opponents – and hit back courageously after Leicester equalised. It was one of the most famous victories in the club’s history, maybe even the most famous given the apparent mis-match against a club who not so long ago were the champions.

Newport scored early; they were positive and aggressive. They fought for their lives. It was a raw, raucous start and Newport surged into the lead on 10 minutes when Jamille Matt rose to meet Robbie Willmott’s excellent cross, after the midfielder had simply, easily ran past Christian Fuchs, and superbly angle a header beyond goalkeeper Danny Ward and into the net off the post. Where was Leicester captain Wes Morgan? He barely moved.
