Reggae Boyz forward Leon Bailey starts 2025 in style, scoring his first goal of the season to secure Aston Villa's 2-1 win over Leicester.
Bailey made a late run into the box to tap home substitute Ian Maatsen's low cross in the 78th minute, clinching the victory for Villa.
Earlier, Ross Barkley's 58th-minute strike from the edge of the box, his third league goal of the campaign, gave Villa the advantage. However, Ruud van Nistelrooy's side equalized through Stephy Mavididi.
Unai Emery's Villa remain eighth in the table, just four points behind Chelsea in the race for a top-four spot.
