LEICESTER, England (Reuters) - Aston Villa plunged Leicester City deeper into relegation danger on Tuesday with a 2-1 away win in the Premier League after the home side played the last 20 minutes with 10 men and had a late penalty hope ruled out by VAR.
Bertrand Traore scored the 87th-minute winner for the visitors with a curled shot into the top corner moments after he came on against their 19th-placed opponents who sacked manager Brendan Rodgers at the weekend.
Ollie Watkins had put Unai Emery's Villa ahead in the 24th minute, the on-form forward sidefooting into the bottom left corner after being fed through by Emiliano Buendia. Harvey Barnes equalised 11 minutes later, a right-footed shot off the inside of the post, to lift the restless crowd in the King Power stadium.
