That's it for our coverage of the Premier League clash between Leicester City and Crystal Palace. Thank you for joining us, and I hope to see you all this weekend for another bumper set of fixtures. Until then, have a great week!
For Leicester City, it's a 4th straight loss in the league; a run where they've conceded 12 goals and only scored 1! That sort of attacking form was evident today, as despite significant pressure, possession (58% - 42%), and a greater volume of shots (21-9), only 4 of those shots were on target; the same as Palace. Leicester City end the day still in the relegation zone, in 19th place; still 2 points from safety.
Palace hold on for what ended up being an impressive away victory! They withstood a significant period of Leicester pressure in the 2nd half, but it came down to 2 moments of quality. The first being Sarr's excellent run in midfield, before playing Mateta in, who rounded the goalie and scored in the 52nd minute. The second being Eze's beautiful set piece being finished expertly by Guehi's volley in the 78th minute. From there, Palace saw the game out fairly easily, and it's a happy trip back to south London for their fans. They leapfrog Manchester United into 14th place, and 8 points clear of relegation!
90+5'
A short corner routine ends with a Palace player offside. Not much longer left now.
90+4'
Palace move the ball quickly, as Leicester are leaving all sorts of gaps now. It's switched to Munoz on the right flank, who gets to the byline. He pulls the ball back to Sarr just inside the box on the right. He shoots to the right of goal, trying to catch the 'keeper out at the near post, but it's put behind for a corner.
90+4'
Ayew decides to shoot and ,despite bouncing right in front of the 'keeper, it's an easy save for Henderson, as it's just to the right of centre.
90+3'
The ball comes straight back, as Leicester keep the pressure on. It isn't cleared properly, and Nketiah accidentally controls a bouncing ball with his hand. Leicester have a free kick 30 yards from goal, middle of the pitch. Last chance saloon.
90+1'
Guehi heads the ball away bravely, and wins a free kick in the Palace box.
