Leicester’s Premier League season continued with a nil-nil draw against Bournemouth at the King Power Stadium on Saturday with Arsenal opening up a two-point gap on the Foxes to start the New Year.

Cherries captain Simon Francis was sent when he denied Jamie Vardy ‘a goalscoring chance’ with the penalty also awarded but visiting ‘keeper Artur Boruc saved Riyad Mahrez’s spot kick.
Vardy himself had already hit the post with Boruc once again denying Mahrez late on.

Things were looking bleak for Aston Villa going out of 2015 but 2016 didn’t get any better with the three-one loss at the Stadium of Light leaving (even in January) them as a ‘near certainty’ you feel to go down….
