BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) -Leon Bailey scored the winner in Aston Villa's 2-1 Premier League victory over Leicester City, after Stephy Mavididi's equaliser had cancelled out Ross Barkley's strike in an action-packed second half on Saturday.
Leicester, who contained Villa's attack effectively in the first half, suffered their fifth loss in a row to remain 19th in the table, while eighth-placed Villa got their first win in three matches to move to 32 points, three points below the top five.
