After some poor Villa defending, Leicester took the lead in the 14th minute.

Patson Daka, who was making his first league start for the Foxes, beat Marvellous Nakamba and Matty Cash in midfield twice and teed up Barnes, who took a touch before slipping the ball through Konsa’s knees and into the corner of the net.

Leicester led for only 170 seconds before Villa equalized. Leicester claimed an offside after Konsa got the tiniest touch on Emilianio Buendia’s grounded header, prompting a VAR call.

Douglas Luiz’s free-kick was partially headed away by Jonny Evans before being nodded back into the danger area by Cash.

Then there was the VAR debate. When Cash leaped above Luke Thomas to head back Douglas Luiz’s cross, Ramsey turned the ball home after Schmeichel got a hand to the ball.

However, replays revealed Schmeichel had a hand on the ball on the ground, deeming it under control and ruling it out, prompting referee Michael Oliver to consult the pitchside monitor.

When Konsa scored again in the 54th minute, Schmeichel appeared to be at fault.

From John McGinn’s corner, the center defender held off Caglar Soyuncu to get in a header and past Schmeichel at his near post.

Maddison’s shot was inches wide, but Villa was now in command. After John McGinn let Ollie Watkins through, Schmeichel extended a crucial hand to deny him.

Gerrard has now led Villa to 3 victories in his first 4 games in command at Villa Park, putting an end to Rodgers’ unblemished record at the site and Leicester slip to 11th position.
