Villa beat 10-man Leicester 2-1

Agency :
Aston Villa plunged Leicester City deeper into relegation danger with a 2-1 away win in the Premier League on Tuesday after the home side played the last 20 minutes with 10 men and had a stoppage-time penalty ruled out by Video Assistant Referee (VAR).
Substitute Bertrand Traore scored the 87th-minute winner at the King Power Stadium with a curled shot into the top corner moments after he came on against opponents who sacked manager Brendan Rodgers at the weekend.
It was his first league goal since May 2021 and left Leicester 19th and two points from safety.
Midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall had already added to Leicester’s woes by being sent off in the 70th minute after collecting a second yellow card of the evening for a late challenge on Ashley Young.
