Leicester secure their eighth win in a row in the Premier League to keep the pressure on Liverpool at the top of the table.
The Foxes were outstanding this afternoon to put Aston Villa to the sword by a 4-1 scoreline.
Jamie Vardy kept up his impressive record of scoring for the last eight games on the bounce when he broke the deadlock. Kelechi Iheanacho then notched the Foxes’ second, but Jack Grealish did give the home side a lifeline before half-time.
However, the notion of a comeback was quickly dispelled by the visitors when Jonny Evans headed home James’ Maddison’s corner.
Vardy wrapped up the victory with a clinical finish on the break to take his tally to 16 goals for the season.
Brendan Rodgers’ men are eight points behind Liverpool in second place, but are now six ahead of Manchester City in third.
Villa remain one place above the relegation zone as results from the teams around them were favourable, but Dean Smith and his men are still in a big battle at the bottom.
