(Premier League 2022/2023): Highlighs ASTON VILLA - LEICESTER CITY

A warm welcome to Villa Park from Jonathan Vech and Lee Hendry as Aston Villa return from two weeks without football to face Leicester City. It's always a big game in this part of the country, Aston Villa and Leicester City. No matter what the form, no matter what the previous results, this is one they look to and want to win. Just as you see the formation that 4-4-2 for Aston Villa will end up being a box in that midfield when Liam Ramsey being the more advanced going and joining in with the front two and... Wendieta Ramsey, they've managed to move that out of a dangerous position and again Villa looking to parade down this right-hand side up against Christiansen. They've left Wendieta alone and he's had a goal! They just couldn't quite get there enough to stand yet in the unbeaten tour by Watkins and Villa at the other end, Hernacho to Maradona! Away from it and then it's about the composure of sticking in the back of the net. He does it brilliantly, Hernacho does excellent here, unselfish composure. It's proven in the past that he can bend it right into the goal from here, into the near post this time and off the ball! And Aston Villa strike the woodwork once again, Emi Buendia for the second time. Yeah it's a break, he's developing into an end-to-end game. It's been an excellent half Generates the spin, the power and as you can see there, Ward going down to his left, it just leaves a massive hole at that near post. Barnes with Christiansen supporting, early ball which Wings needed to cut out. Leicester with numbers still in there, Hernacho! Level terms for Leicester, really really well-worked goal from Leicester City and a well-executed header. Martinez no chance for that one, what a half we've had. He doesn't keep a hold of it and here come Leicester. In the composure, good first touch, just faces up, Emi Martinez gets that ball away from him and it's inevitable what's going to happen next. Well they've caused trouble from these kind of corners, Douglas Luiz to measure one again. This is Jamie Vardy on the near post, it comes out to Moreno on his weaker foot. Douglas Luiz here to try and set things up, here's Coutinho! Yeah we did as, it's one of them balls that's faced in at pace then, it's this one here where Leicester do brilliantly to get off the field, don't they get out and then they do just pick that ball up, Douglas Luiz picking up, Coutinho does brilliant. I don't know how he won. A change in force with Matty Cash coming on here, he's been held off by Harvey Barnes and that's a deflected one and Pratt is through. Moreno's mistake and Pratt can finish it. Emi Martinez which he does he goes to ground and then it's just about sticking it into an empty net, real bad goal to concede having all that pressure. Down England brings to an end a real cracker, a first Premier League victory of 2023 for Brendan Rodgers and Leicester City.
