Aston Villa bounced back from their defeat to Arsenal last weekend to secure their second win in three games with a 2-1 victory away at Leicester City.

Amadou Onana stretched to turn in Jacob Ramsey's cross from a well-worked free-kick to open the scoring.

Ollie Watkins is yet to find the net this season after helping England to the Euro 2024 final, but his understudy Jhon Duran has started the campaign in fine form.

The Colombian's towering header just two minutes after replacing Watkins gave Villa the breathing space they needed.

Facundo Buonanotte pulled a goal back, but the Foxes remain winless on their return to the Premier League.
