WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Super subs Olise and Schlupp earn Palace point

Crystal Palace fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Leicester City at home, thanks to goals from substitutes Michael Olise and Jeffrey Schlupp.

Kelechi Iheanacho, on his 25th birthday, put Leicester ahead on 31 minutes when he dispossessed Palace defender Joachim Andersen to run and score past Vicente Guaita.

Jamie Vardy doubled the Foxes’ lead six minutes later with his sixth goal of the season, the most in the Premier League, when he converted from a Harvey Barnes pass.

However, Olise fired in his first Premier League goal on 61 minutes shortly after replacing Jordan Ayew.

Schlupp then equalised with a close-range header, within 45 seconds of coming on, to earn Palace a point that takes them up to 14th with seven points.

Leicester are one place and one point above them.
