The result put Leicester City into the danger zone directly. With ten exact Premier League games in hand, the manager succeeding Rodgers needs to pull off something miraculous if he wants to show off that the fans booing him were wrong about doubting his credentials.

3 Leicester City players who stood out for right and wrong reasons

Wout Faes- A contributing factor that stood between and prevented the hosts from pulling away with a lead was courtesy of the Belgian centre-back.

Faes made a few brilliant blocks and interceptions that kept Palace stranded and frustrated in the first half. If it wasn’t for him or Iversen, the first-half score could have looked very different from a stalemate.

It shows some players are still fighting actively to stay up, while the rest of the team, along with the manager, have given up long ago.

Daniel Iversen- We can’t even imagine what the scoreline would have looked like if Danny Ward had started in between the sticks for the East Midlanders instead.

The major takeaway from this game is that Daniel Iversen played his heart out, influencing the game and giving Leicester City a fighting chance with his reliable stature. He made eight brilliant saves against a side that had registered 31 shots in total.
