This game is crazy, Leicester have just fallen apart, puts the last 2 relegation spots up for grabs, and Man Utd can go 3rd with a win tomorrow.

Leicester have been embarrassingly bad in the second half

even going down to ten men you don't expect to see team crumble like Leicester have - they've even managed to make Solanke look good for 20 mins, that alone should give them the BBC Sports team of the year award

4-1 is a disgrace for Leicester!
Another 'top manager ' humiliated by his non-tryers!

The best thing about this result is the probable meltdown on Villa’s forum.

That's true,but who would have thought Burnley would be competing for a European place in January. Funny old game ain't it. :)

And all with a failed manager at Cardiff!

Funny old game. Shows what money can do.

I don’t think we really are now mate, sadly :(

If JBG had kept that on down though, we’d be right in the hunt!!

The Bournemouth and Villa results, have made that West Ham-Watford game a lot more important then you'd have imagined this morning.

Suddenly Moyes and Pearson won't be sitting quite so comfortably now. Even Brighton aren't totally safe just yet, though they should be OK.

Bournemouth were even worse in the first half than either Everton or Palace had been in the earlier games. I didn't expect Leicester to be so poor in the second half.

how is Solanke a professional footballer ?
You have your answer. That game could kick start his career.

And Watfords last two games after that are City at home and Arsenal away.

Couldn't find anywhere else to post this, so here seems as good as anywhere, following the Abuse of Zaha, now McGoldrick has been targeted, this is getting ridiculous https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53385476 :( that in this day and age we haven't moved on from the stone ages.

I haven't seen much of Villa but the three worst sides I have seen are Norwich (yes they're well organised but because of their insistence on playing it out from the back and not being good enough to do it), Bournemouth (admittedly suffered from injuries but don't seem to have much idea about anything), and Watford (just lethargic and generally clueless).
