Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Aston Villa FC get us underway at Villa Park.
  • 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 10' The travelling Leicester City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Aston Villa FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 19' What a moment for James Maddison! That strike on 19 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 23' Harvey Barnes doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 28' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 33' It’s high time Brendan Rodgers made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 34' Wilfred Ndidi picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 39' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Timothy Castagne suffering a number of foals already.
  • 44' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Emiliano Martinez made 416 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 48' What a moment for Bertrand Traore! That strike on 48 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 51' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Douglas Luiz.
  • 56' Aston Villa FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Leicester City FC backline.
  • 59' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Ahmed El Mohamady on 59 minutes.
  • 64' Nampalys Mendy is replacing James Maddison for the Leicester City FC side.
  • 67' Trezeguet has so much to prove this time. He replaces Anwar El Ghazi on 67 minute.
  • 72' Both keepers have barely been tested. Aston Villa FC and Leicester City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 76' A change in the Aston Villa FC ranks — Ross Barkley exits the field as Jacob Ramsey enters on 76.
  • 81' The crowd applauds Douglas Luiz as he leaves the pitch. Morgan Sanson steps in for Aston Villa FC.
  • 86' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 88' The whistle greets Youri Tielemans as he departs to be replaced by Hamza Choudhury.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
