Tuesday's Recap

Rodgers will have been pleased with what he saw from his new team as the Foxes moved through the gears.

The former Liverpool and Celtic manager was cheered by home fans as he takes the reins from Claude Puel.

Demarai Gray broke the deadlock for the hosts after only 10 minutes and Jamie Vardy doubled the advantage shortly after the hour mark.

Brighton were provided hope by Davy Propper's finish minutes after Vardy's effort, but Leicester stood firm to collect maximum points.

A brace from Sigurdsson gave Everton control against Cardiff in South Wales, and the Merseyside team wrapped up the win through Dominic Calvert-Lewin's injury-time strike.

The defeat leaves the Bluebirds one place above the relegation zone. Everton's win moved them up to ninth.

Newcastle fans were in full voice as their team dismantled a poor Burnley side in the northeast.

Fabian Schar's thunderbolt had the crowd on its feet after 24 minutes and youngster Sean Longstaff made it 2-0 seven minutes before the interval.

It was a bad day at the office for the Clarets. The visitors rarely threatened and disappointed the travelling contingent.

There was late drama for Huddersfield against Wolves, with the home team stealing victory against the visitors at the death.

The Terriers could not hide their delight as Steve Mounie snatched the winner in the first minute of stoppage time.
