The result took Leicester to the top of the table while leaving Aston Villa with a slim chance of clambering off the bottom. But if the result was far from ideal for both sides, the home team’s fightback after falling behind to a first-half goal by Shinji Okazaki proved that Villa still have pride, at least. Mark Bunn saved a penalty from Riyad Mahrez before the break, and Rudy Gestede equalised 15 minutes from the end. It was the least Villa deserved.
