Amadou Onana stretched to turn in Jacob Ramsey's cross from a well-worked free-kick to open the scoring at the King Power Stadium. Jhon Duran's towering header just two minutes after replacing Ollie Watkins gave Villa the breathing space they needed.
Facundo Buonanotte pulled a goal back, but the Foxes remain winless on their return to the Premier League. Southampton have found the jump up to the top flight just as hard. Brentford eased past the Saints 3-1 with Bryan Mbeumo scoring twice.
Everton suffered another gut punch in their final season at Goodison Park as Bournemouth came from 2-0 down after 87 minutes to win 3-2. Two quickfire goals from Michael Keane and Dominic Calvert-Lewin early in the second half had put the Toffees in control.
But Antoine Semenyo gave Bournemouth life before Lewis Cook and Luis Sinisterra ensured Everton remain without a point this season. Ipswich got their first Premier League point in 22 years in a 1-1 draw against Fulham.
Honours were also even in a 1-1 draw between Nottingham Forest and Wolves. Manchester United host Liverpool in the blockbuster fixture of the weekend at Old Trafford on Sunday.
