The Midlands derby is shaping up to be a classic between two attacking sides that promise goals.
Harvey Barnes had given Leicester an early lead at Villa Park, but just three minutes later, Emi Buendia’s long-range header found its way into the net.
With Ezri Konsa in an offside position, Kasper Schmeichel and his team-mates attempted to suggest that he’d touched the ball on the way in.

However, a brief VAR check only succeeded in Michael Oliver being told to award the goal.
Aston Villa survive the VAR check ?
Cash peels away at the far post to head the ball back into the danger area, and Buendia is free to head the ball beyond the dive of Schmeichel and into the bottom corner ?
