Aston Villa secured a hard-fought victory over Leicester City at King Power Stadium, despite a spirited second-half comeback from the hosts.
Unai Emery’s side dominated the early stages of the match, taking a well-deserved lead through Amadou Onana’s finish from a set-piece routine involving Youri Tielemans and Jacob Ramsey.
Leicester improved after the break, but Villa doubled their advantage when substitute Jhon Duran headed the ball over Mads Hermansen for his second goal of the season.
Brighton loanee Facundo Buonanotte pulled one back for Leicester, but the Foxes were unable to complete a comeback.
A late penalty claim by Jamie Vardy was dismissed, and Villa held on for the win.
This victory marks the fourth time Aston Villa has won their opening two away matches in a Premier League season, demonstrating their strong start to the campaign.
Leicester, on the other hand, continue to search for their first win of the new season.
