A late strike from Bertrand Traore saw Aston Villa to a dramatic 2-1 win against managerless Leicester, who are now two points from Premier League safety
Leicester - who were under the charge of coaches Adam Sadler and Mike Stowell  - looked to be on course for a point before unravelling in the final 25 minutes
It began as they went down to 10 players in the 70th minute
 Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was sent off for a second bookable offence, before Bertrand Traore curled home a beautiful winner for Aston Villa after latching onto Wilfried Ndidi's slack pass
Leicester thought they had won a penalty in injury time too as Ollie Watkins was penalised for handball
 But the spot kick was correctly overturned after the Villa striker was fouled by Patson Daka, adding to the Foxes misfortune
It was the in-form Watkins - making his 100th Aston Villa appearance - who saw the visitors ahead in the first half as he rolled home his sixth successive away goal in the Premier League
Leicester reacted well to going behind too with some individual brilliance from Harvey Barnes seeing the Foxes level
 But a lack of concentration cost them once again after a last-gasp winner from The result sees Leicester slip into 19th place, two points from safety with nine Premier League games to play
 Aston Villa - who are unbeaten in six league matches - move up to seventh place and remain in the hunt for a European spot next season
After the game, Unai Emery admitted Villa are in a race for Europe, telling : "With those three points we can add a new target in the near future to try and fight with the teams who are trying to be in Europe next year
"It's going to be very, very difficult because they are Chelsea, Liverpool and Brighton, who are playing very well, but we are now with them and we're going to try to be competitive in the matches ahead
Leicester had the better early chances, and should have gone ahead in the 19th minute
 James Maddison's deep corner found a completely unmarked Harry Souttar towards the back post, but his free header hit the woodwork before going out of play
Five minutes later and Aston Villa went ahead with their first shot on target
 It was a sumptuous pass from Emiliano Buendia for Watkins - the former also making his 100th appearance for the club - who easily ran in behind the Leicester centre-backs
 He then coolly rolled the ball home, with a VAR check for offside soon confirming the goal
Leicester hit back in superb style
 It was a sublime ball over the top from Wout Faes that picked out Barnes' run down the left
 He zoomed past Ashley Young before slamming home the equaliser
The second half largely lacked the zip and excitement of the first, but there were openings for both sides
 However, the match turned on its head with 20 minutes to play as Leicester went down to 10 players
It was a late challenge from Dewsbury-Hall on Young that saw him pick up a red card for a second yellow - just moments before he was due to be substituted
With the extra player advantage, Aston Villa probed for a winner - which finally arrived in the 87th minute
 It was of Leicester's own making too as Ndidi's poor pass from the back allowed Traore to curl a stunning strike past Iversen, having only come on as a substitute two minutes before
There was a glimmer of hope for a late Leicester equaliser too as they were awarded a penalty in a frantic final few minutes
 Watkins was penalised for handball and shown a yellow card, but VAR intervened
 After consulting the pitchside monitor, referee Graham Scott overturned the decision and rescinded the booking, with Watkins having been barged over by Daka in the melee
It was another blow for a side in desperate need for things to fall their way, with Leicester now having nine more games to save themselves from Premier League relegation
"The most important thing now is to improve each match, be demanding and try to be competitive
 Eventually adapting each match with the opponent
 We did it on Saturday against Chelsea and we did it today as well because we struggled in some moments with the players in the transition and Barnes, an amazing player, Maddison and Vardy
"We are trying to be consistent in our mind, not frustrated, keep possession and trying to be clinical when we get in the box
 Today was a very good example and we did it
" "Brilliant, but not only scoring but his work very day
 He is very demanding himself, practicing every day, trying to add more minutes practicing and work with video analysis
 We can improve him
 He defends very well, makes assists, his other characteristics, not only scoring, are very important
""We can be proud of the performance
 The lads put everything into it
 It is a difficult one to take but we'll learn from that and we've got to get prepared now for Saturday
"The response to going behind was positive
 We stayed strong, together, united
 We scored a fantastic goal
 In terms of how we managed the game in that period, I can only be proud of that
" "That happens in the game, we can't do much about that
 Kiernan is a competitive player, he's gone off of his feet
 I haven't seen it back to give you my full opinion on that but I'm sure Kiernan will look at it
 These things can happen and we have to try and respond to that in the moment which for the majority of that period without him we showed a real fighting spirit and that's all you can do
" "It was a fantastic finish
 At that point in the game we're defending low on the pitch and we're trying to defend our box with everything we've got
 It was a slightly loose pass that got away and it was a fantastic finish
 We have to give credit where it's due
""No, nothing
 I've just come off the pitch and spoke to the players and come straight in to see you guys so that's where we're at right now
