The goal has certainly spiced things up after a pretty dull first 20 minutes. the tackles are flying in now.

Anthony Knockaert was keeping Riyad Mahrez out of the Leicester team not that long ago. They are both full of tricks and Knockaert has just started to show a bit of his undoubted talent with some neat footwork on the right wing.

Gaetan Bong's teasing cross causes a bit of panic in the Villa defence but nothing comes of it. We have some action at last.

When it comes to home comforts, Brighton's Glenn Murray sets the standard as far as forwards are concerned.

Last time in front of the Brighton faithful, he bagged a hat-trick in a 5-0 win over Norwich.
