Aston Villa striker Rudy Gestede came off the bench to dent Leicester's Premier League title challenge as his second half equaliser rescued a 1-1 draw for the bottom club. Although Leicester moved one point clear of second placed Manchester City, Claudio Ranieri's side left Villa Park frustrated their lead wasn't more significant after Gestede's first goal since September cancelled out a first half opener from Japan striker Shinji Okazaki.
The Foxes should have been out of sight by the time Gestede equalised and they paid the price for a series of misses, with Riyad Mahrez especially culpable after his first half penalty was saved by Mark Bunn. Third placed Arsenal can regain pole position if they draw or win at Stoke on Sunday.
