Leicester City vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from King Power Stadium
Aston Villa returned to winning ways in the Premier League as goals by Amadou Onana and Jhon Duran wrapped up a 2-1 victory at Leicester City.
Summer signing Onana touched in from close range after a clever free kick routine in the 28th minute.
Hosts Leicester, seeking their first win since promotion back to the top flight, were more of a threat in the second half but Duran’s 63rd-minute header appeared to have killed them off.
They were handed a lifeline when Facundo Buonanotte slotted in a shot 10 minutes later, but they could not salvage a point as Villa held on with relative comfort.
Villa, who were beaten by Arsenal last weekend, have six points from three games with Leicester on one.
