Eighth-placed Aston Villa got their first win in three matches to move to 32 points, three points below the top five.

BIRMINGHAM: Leon Bailey scored the winner in Aston Villa’s 2-1 Premier League victory over Leicester City, after Stephy Mavididi’s equaliser had cancelled out Ross Barkley’s strike in an action-packed second half on Saturday.

Leicester, who contained Villa’s attack effectively in the first half, suffered their fifth loss in a row to remain 19th in the table, while eighth-placed Villa got their first win in three matches to move to 32 points, three points below the top five.

“Leicester were well organised. They look a lot better a side now, the manager has them well drilled but I am happy our team has come away with the three points,” Barkley said after netting his third league goal of the season.
