Leicester’s slump continues with 2-1 loss to Aston Villa

LEICESTER, England (AP) — Leicester slipped to 19th place in the Premier League after conceding another late goal in a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa in the club’s first game since the departure of manager Brendan Rodgers. It was a similar story to Saturday’s defeat at Crystal Palace when Leicester lost by the same scoreline after an injury-time goal, which led to the club parting ways with Rodgers as it tries to avoid relegation. Leicester seemed to be heading for a draw after Harvey Barnes’ sublime goal canceled out Ollie Watkins’ opener. But the game turned in the 70th minute as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was sent off for two quick yellow cards, and Villa’s Bertrand Traore then came off the bench to score the winner in the 87th.
