Aston Villa Secure 2-1 Win Against Leicester City Amidst Late Drama

Aston Villa claimed a 2-1 victory over Leicester City with goals from Amadou Onana and Jhon Duran. Despite a strong comeback attempt and late-game pressure from Leicester, Villa held on for the win. This marks Leicester manager Steve Cooper's third consecutive game without a win in the Premier League.

Aston Villa returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 2-1 victory against Leicester City on Saturday, courtesy of goals by Amadou Onana and Jhon Duran. The win didn't come easy as Villa had to withstand late pressure from Leicester.

Summer signing Onana opened the scoring in the 28th minute, executing a clever free kick routine. Despite Leicester's improved performance in the second half, Duran's 63rd-minute header seemed to seal the game for Villa, but they were handed a lifeline ten minutes later when Facundo Buonanotte scored.

Leicester manager Steve Cooper is now the first manager since Paulo Sousa in 2010 to fail to win any of their first three league games. Villa's manager Unai Emery might have concerns over Ollie Watkins' form despite the victory. Watkins was involved in the buildup to Onana's goal but missed several key chances.
