Aston Villa back on track with win at Leicester
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 on Saturday.
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.
