James Maddison and Harvey Barnes scored quick-fire first-half goals as Leicester City notched up a 2-1 win away to Aston Villa to go second in the Premier League table, with third-placed Manchester United taking on Newcastle United later on Sunday.
Villa suffered a blow before kick-off when playmaker and captain Jack Grealish was ruled out with a leg injury, and Leicester were quick to exploit his absence.
Barnes made it 2-0 four minutes later, reacting quickest to lash a rebound from a Jamie Vardy shot high into the net.
"We knew they'd be up for it, so we knew we'd have to start fast. It was part of our game plan. We knew if we'd get shots in and around the box we'd have a chance," Barnes said. "I've added goals to my game and I'm really happy with that. It's down to confidence."
Villa struck back three minutes into the second half as Matt Targett's cross was helped on by John McGinn. Bertrand Traore was on hand to drill the ball into the net.
Maddison left the field with what looked to be a hip injury in the 64th minute, but Leicester continued to create chances. Vardy was unlucky not to score with a shot that flew across the face of the goal and wide.
Without Grealish, Villa had little to offer in attack as the visitors held on comfortably to win.
The victory sees Leicester move past Manchester United and into second on 49 points, seven behind leaders Manchester City and three ahead of United. Aston Villa are eighth on 36 points.
"I was absolutely delighted. I thought some of our football and the speed of our game was really, really good. We didn't have too many concerns defensively," Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers said.
"They [Maddison and Barnes] are getting better all the time. Maddison occupied the spaces really well. He's so creative. Harvey I thought was incredible. His finish looked easy but it wasn't. Both those boys are improving constantly."
Islamophobia definition
A widely accepted definition was made by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims in 2019: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.” It further defines it as “inciting hatred or violence against Muslims”.

Libya's Gold
UN Panel of Experts found regime secretly sold a fifth of the country's gold reserves.
The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.
Cases filled with cash that was said to amount to $560m in 100 dollar notes, that was kept by a group of Libyans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
A second stash was said to have been held in Accra, Ghana, inside boxes at the local offices of an international human rights organisation based in France.
