Managerless Leicester City’s relegation worries deepened as in-form Aston Villa secured a dramatic late win at King Power Stadium.
The Foxes looked set to secure a valuable point in their first game since sacking Brendan Rodgers despite Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s red card.
Ollie Watkins marked his 100th Premier League appearance by slotting Villa ahead with his eighth goal in 10 appearances after being sent through by Emiliano Buendia.
Villa had only conceded once in their previous five games but were undone by Harvey Barnes’ excellent finish after he had shrugged off Ashley Young and cut in from the wing following Wout Faes’ raking pass.
Dewsbury-Hall was sent off midway through the second half for a second bookable offence but the Foxes held on until Bertrand Traore curled in Villa’s 87th-minute winner.
The drama continued when Leicester were awarded a 92nd-minute penalty – only for referee Graham Scott to overturn his decision after looking at a replay on the pitchside monitor.
