Leicester edge past Palace with two goals in six minutes

Goals from Ademola Lookman and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall inside six first-half minutes gave much-changed Leicester a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace.

Wilfried Zaha pulled one back for the visitors in the second half, but Brendan Rodgers' seven changes paid off to move them above Palace and into ninth. Both sides are focusing on competitions away from the Premier League with Leicester set to take on PSV in their Europa Conference League second leg on Thursday while the Eagles are going to Wembley on Sunday in the FA Cup semi-finals against Chelsea.

Palace boss Patrick Vieira named an unchanged side from their impressive 3-0 victory over Arsenal and they started brightly with Jean-Philippe Mateta's shot tipped behind by Kasper Schmeichel before Joachim Andersen should have done better when he headed wide from a corner.

Leicester had only seen Youri Tielemans long-range shot dip narrowly off-target until they opened the scoring in the 39th minute. Dewsbury-Hall timed his pass into Lookman perfectly and the winger shimmied away from two Palace defenders before shooting past Guaita.
