Monday Recap

Aston Villa went into Monday's match knowing a win would take them out of the relegation zone but faded after a bright start at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester were handed the opening goal five minutes before half-time after a bad mistake by experienced stopper Reina.

The Spaniard came flying out of his penalty area in a bid to intercept a forward ball by Marc Albrighton but was easily beaten by Barnes, who nipped past the goalkeeper and finished from 20 yards:

Vardy made his return from injury on the hour and doubled the Foxes' lead two minutes later from the penalty spot.

Tyrone Mings was guilty of giving away the spot-kick. The defender dived to block a cross from Barnes, although the ball appeared to hit his shoulder.

ESPN's Dale Johnson explained why it was the correct decision:

Vardy grabbed his second of the night with 11 minutes of normal time remaining, reacting quickest in the penalty area to slam a loose ball inside the near post.

Barnes made it 4-0 on 85 minutes when he slotted home Albrighton's cross to hand Leicester a first Premier League win since January 22.
