Leicester 0-0 Aston Villa: Scrappy draw ends losing run for Steven Gerrard's side

Aston Villa ended a four-game losing run with a draw at Leicester in which both sides struggled to provide moments of quality in a scrappy end-of-season game.

Steven Gerrard's side faced up to Leicester pressure in the opening 45 minutes before improving after the break.

The home side enjoyed 67% of the ball in the first half but rarely went close, with a well-timed clearance by Villa defender Ashley Young denying James Justin.

Villa struggled for fluency throughout - completing just 69% of their passes to Leicester's 86% - but they will look back on a Tyrone Mings header that flew over the bar on half-time and half-chances missed by Ollie Watkins as moments that could have given them three points.
