Leicester City took a step closer to a Champions League spot as the foxes came from a goal down to beat visiting Crystal Palace.


Wilfred Zaha gave the visitors the lead in the 12th minute with an intelligent finish after Eberechi Eze found him with a fine through ball.

But Leicester levelled five minutes after the break as Timothy Castagne scored from a Kelechi Iheanacho assist.

A fantastic sliding tackle from Johnny Evans stopped Christian Benteke who had an open goal at his mercy, from restoring Palace's lead.

Kelechi Iheanacho then scored his 12th goal in nine matches for Leicester, when he received a ball on the right side of the box before cutting on his left foot and finished brilliantly.
