Nathan Dyer’s brave late header completed a remarkable comeback by Leicester as they climbed to second place in the Premier League table with a 3-2 home win against Aston Villa.

The Foxes looked like losing their unbeaten start to the season after a couple of wonderful curling efforts from Jack Grealish, his first goal for Villa, and Carles Gil put the visitors in the driving seat.

But goals from Ritchie De Laet, whose effort was given with the aid of goal-line technology, Jamie Vardy and substitute Dyer, making his debut following his loan arrival from Swansea during the international break, saw Claudio Ranieri’s men snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

Winger Dyer remained on the floor for a couple of minutes after clattering into goalkeeper Brad Guzan when heading the 89th minute clincher, but eventually got to his feet to take the acclaim.

Elsewhere, Ryan Mason fired Tottenham to their first Premier League victory of the season as Sunderland were made to wait for theirs.

The midfielder stabbed home an 82nd-minute winner from substitute Erik Lamela’s through-ball to snatch a 1-0 win the Londoners scarcely deserved after being second-best for much of the game.
