The "Lions" scored first. In the 14th minute, Harvey Barnes beat the goalkeeper after Patson Daka's pass. However, "Aston Villa" reacted excellently to the missed goal, as the match hero, center-back Ezri Konsa, equalized the score just three minutes later. At the end of the first half, the hosts scored again, but Jacob Ramsey's goal was disallowed after a VAR review. Finally, in the 54th minute, Ezri Konsa decided to remind everyone of himself once again. The Englishman scored with a header after a corner kick, beating the opponents' goalkeeper and bringing his team ahead. After this victory, "Aston Villa" overtook the footballers of Leicester's team and rose to 10th place in the table. Meanwhile, the disappointing season of the "Lions" continues, and they have to settle for the 11th position in the table.
