Leicester 1-2 Aston Villa: 10-man Foxes stay rooted in the relegation zone as super sub Bertrand Traore nets winner just two minutes after coming on to send Unai Emery's side up to seventh

Changing a manager does not mean anything if the players they are paid to coach continue to make basic errors.

And unless Leicester City stop doing so, they are heading for the Championship.

In their first game after sacking Brendan Rodgers, the home side were reduced to 10 men when Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was sent off but were clinging on for a point when Wilfred Ndidi passed the ball straight to Bertrand Traore.

The Aston Villa substitute’s finish was outstanding, a curling left-foot effort from 20 yards, but he should never have been given the chance to deliver it.
