LONDON, United Kingdom, Jul 16 – Leicester moved a step closer to Champions League qualification after a 2-0 win against Sheffield United while Aston Villa’s survival hopes were seriously damaged as Everton snatched a late draw on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brendan Rodgers’ side earned their first win in three games thanks to goals from Ayoze Perez and Demarai Gray at the King Power Stadium.<\/p>\n

It was an essential result after Leicester’s 4-1 thrashing by lowly Bournemouth on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Leicester remain in fourth place, just one point behind third-placed Chelsea and three ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United, who face Crystal Palace later on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Foxes face a tense run-in as they bid to return to the Champions League for the first time since 2016-17.<\/p>\n

Their next match is at Tottenham on Sunday before a potentially decisive home clash with Manchester United on the last day of the season.<\/p>\n

Sheffield United’s first defeat in five games was a blow to their hopes of reaching the Europa League at the climax of a fine first season back in the top-flight.<\/p>\n

Aged 19 years, 36 days, academy graduate Luke Thomas was the third youngest player to make his first Premier League start for Leicester after Emile Heskey and Stuart Campbell.<\/p>\n

The England Under-19 left-back laid on an early chance for Perez when his cross was headed over by the Leicester winger.<\/p>\n

Jamie Vardy forced Dean Henderson to save with his legs and the Blades keeper had to be alert again moments later to deny Perez’s volley from another Thomas cross.<\/p>\n

It was third time lucky for Perez as the Spaniard put Leicester ahead in the 29th minute with his first goal since January.<\/p>\n

Perez started the attack with a pass wide to Thomas and took the return ball before drilling low past Henderson from just inside the penalty area.<\/p>\n

Vardy hit the post from Youri Tielemens’ defence-splitting pass soon after the interval, with Henderson twice tested by Harvey Barnes as Leicester pushed for a second.<\/p>\n

John Egan’s header forced a fine save from Leicester’s Kasper Schmeichel, but Gray’s deft finish sealed the points from Vardy’s pass in the 79th minute.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa’s survival bid was damaged by their draw at Everton \u00a9 POOL\/AFP \/ PETER POWELL<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n

At Goodison Park, Villa were within touching distance of a second successive win after Ezri Konsa put them ahead in the second half.<\/p>\n

But Theo Walcott brought Everton level in the 87th minute when his header was ruled to have crossed the line.<\/p>\n

It was an agonising blow for Villa, who remain second bottom and sit three points from safety with just two games left.<\/p>\n

With West Ham and Watford — the two teams directly above the relegation zone — meeting on Friday, Villa aren’t down yet, but they are in grave danger of an immediate return to the Championship.<\/p>\n

No English top-flight fixture has been played more often than Everton against Villa, but it might not be on the schedule next season after the late drama.<\/p>\n

Mbwana Samatta headed Villa’s first chance well over from a good position before Jack Grealish wasted two good chances early in the second half.<\/p>\n

Villa finally took the lead with their first shot on target in the 72nd minute.<\/p>\n

Conor Hourihane’s free-kick curled into the six-yard box and Konsa stuck out a leg to poke in his first Premier League goal.<\/p>\n

But with time ticking down, Walcott meet a deep cross with a looping header that crept over the line with an assist from Konsa’s despairing overhead attempt to clear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
