Leicester City have taken another huge step towards escaping from the Premier League relegation zone with a stunning win over Aston Villa on Sunday.

The Foxes were trailing 2-0 at half-time against the top flight's bottom side, but they fought back valiantly and ultimately came out victorious thanks to goals from James Maddison and Jamie Vardy.

Vardy was also named man of the match for his performance after coming off the bench to score both goals. The 34-year-old has been a key player for Leicester this season and has shown why he is one of the best strikers in world football.

With their win, Leicester now sit just three points above the drop zone and will hope that they can continue their impressive form going forward.

It was a dramatic day for Aston Villa as they lost 5-1 to Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter-finals. It was a tough day for manager Dean Smith who has struggled to get his team up and running in recent weeks.

Despite the loss, Smith will be encouraged by the fact that his players gave it their all and put up a good fight against such a strong team. He will need to work hard to turn things around and find a way to get his side back into the Premier League.

Overall, it was a great result for Leicester City and one that could really boost their confidence heading into the rest of the season. They will now look to keep building on their momentum and push themselves even further away from the relegation zone.
