Madders & Barnes seal another away win!!

Goal that came in the first half from Maddison & Barnes helped Leicester claim a 2-1 win at rivalling Midlands club Aston Villa!

The Foxes took the lead on 19 minutes when Barnes teed up Maddison on the edge of the penalty area, and his low sweeping finish was beyond the reach of Villa keeper Martinez.

Barnes added a second goal only 4 minutes later, lashing the ball into the roof of the net after Martinez spilled Vardy’s shot into his path.

Bertrand Traore gave Villa hope of a second half comeback with a close range finish from Targett’s cross on the 48th minute.

Morgan Sanson went close to conjuring a equaliser for Villa with 7 minutes remaining, but he his shot narrowed wide from distance.

This was Leicester’s 3rd victory in 4 matches leaving them in 3rd place, just behind Manchester United on goal difference after the Red Devil’s win over Newcastle on Sunday puts them slightly ahead.

Villa stay in 8th place, level on points with Spurs on 36 points, but ahead of them on goal difference.

This is what Leicester Fan Tv’s Sam had to say about the match…
“It was another good win on the road again, and these are the matches we needed to win! We’ve done it before when we go and beat a team like Liverpool to fight for a top 4 spot, but then falter against teams lower down in the league, so beating Villa and keeping consistent is what we need this season, and what we lacked last season!
It was a well deserved win, we dominated the 1st half and managed to stick it out in the 2nd half, which would’ve been nice to get another goal but an early Villa goal in the 2nd half lead to us holding onto the lead… And coming home with all 3 points!
Now we need to move onto our massive match this Thursday against Prague in the 2nd leg of the knockout stages in Europa League, and another big match against Arsenal this Sunday!”
