Pepe Reina’s decision to come haring out of his goal in the 40th minute allowed one-time Albion loanee Harvey Barnes to break the deadlock for Leicester.

Jamie Vardy then bagged two after coming off the bench in the second half, before Barnes completed his own double late on to condemn relegation-threatened Villa to their fifth successive defeat in all competitions.

Dean Smith’s team, who stayed 19th in the table, remain a long way from sunk yet. But after a night like this it is becoming increasingly difficult to make a case for them surviving their first campaign back in the top flight.
